The insurance court dismissed the teacher's claim for half of his work loss following a court-ordered reduction in damages. The teacher, who had sustained injuries while preparing a textbook, sought compensation for the remaining half of his lost earnings after the employer provided full sick pay. The court ruled that because the employer already covered the full salary loss, the insurance company was not liable for the reduced amount.

Kemian opettaja, joka oli kirjoittanut 1.9.1981 valmistuvaksi suunnitellun oppikirjan, oli 23.7.1981 joutunut pahoinpitelyn kohteeksi saaden nenäluun ja solisluun murtuman. Hovioikeus oli katsonut opettajan käyttäytymisellään myötävaikuttaneen vahinkojen syntymiseen siten, että tuomitut korvaukset oli soviteltava puoleen ja määräsi hänelle suoritettavaksi mainitun oppikirjan valmisteluun vaadituista ylimääräisistä 5.000 markan määräisistä kuluista puolet. Opettaja, joka oli työnantajaltaan saanut sairausajalta täyden palkan, oli tapaturmavirastolta vaatinut mainituista kuluista 15.196 markkaa. VAKO määräsi tapaturmaviraston, joka työnantajan sairausajalta maksaman täyden palkan perusteella oli hylännyt korvausvaatimuksen, suorittamaan opettalle korvauksena työansion menetyksestä hovioikeuden päätöksen mukaisesti 2.500 markkaa.
