The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for compensation regarding broken eyeglasses dropped from a pocket during a work-related car trip. The plaintiff argued the glasses were damaged in connection with the work accident, but the court found they had fallen and shattered before the car even started moving. Consequently, the court ruled the damage did not occur in the direct context of the work accident, leading to the rejection of the claim.
