The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for an invalidity care telephone for a 23-year-old woman paralyzed in a traffic accident. The applicant argued the device was essential for mobility, but the court found no medical necessity for a telephone specifically for car operation. Consequently, the court ruled that the requested item did not meet the strict criteria for invalidity care compensation.
