Student transport costs for compulsory education are not covered by traffic insurance invalidity benefits.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Insurance Court dismissed the claim that compulsory school transport costs incurred by a student victim of a traffic accident should be covered under the Invalidity Care Act. The court held that these expenses are direct consequences of the student's education rather than the accident itself, thus falling outside the scope of invalidity benefits. Consequently, the claimant must seek reimbursement through other channels, as the traffic insurance does not extend to educational-related travel costs.
