Legislator summary

AI generated

The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for a work-related accident injury sustained by an employee. The employee fell in a wind tunnel between the front door and hallway upon returning home at midnight, dying from choking on gum. The court ruled this location was part of the home premises rather than the route from work to home. Consequently, the accident was not considered work-related, and the appeal was rejected.

Työntekijä oli palannut työstä kello 00.15 asuntoon, jonka ulko-oven ja eteisen väliseen ns. tuulikaappiin hän oli kaatunut. Kuolinsyyksi todettiin kurkunpäähän kiilautuneen purukumin aiheuttama tukehtuminen. Tapaturman ei katsottu sattuneen työstä johtuvissa olosuhteissa tehdyllä matkalla työpaikalta asuntoon vaan asuntoon kuuluvalla alueella. Tapaturmalautakunnan päätöstä ei muutettu. IV-jaosto KKO 23.02.1987: Ei valituslupaa.
