The Insurance Court dismissed the mother's claim for a maintenance allowance following her daughter's death in a traffic accident. The applicant argued for support based on the daughter's role as a caregiver, while the insurer contended the dependency was not significant. The court ruled that the financial reliance was too minor to justify the allowance under the relevant insurance regulations.
