Legislator summary

AI generated

The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for military accident compensation because the soldier's injury occurred during personal leave and resulted from an intentional act by a third party. The court ruled that the injury was not a fortuitous event linked to the performance of military duties, thus excluding it from the scope of the Military Accident Act. Although the State Office later provided criminal injury compensation, the specific military accident claim was rejected based on the lack of causal connection to service duties.

Varusmies oli 3.6.1993 vahingoittunut ilmeisesti pahoinpitelyn seurauksena ollessaan henkilökohtaisella lomalla ja pukeutuneena siviilivaatteisiin. Hänen ei voitu katsoa vahingoittuneen sotilastoimensa vuoksi tai suorittaessaan sotilastehtävää. Vahingoittumisen ei voitu katsoa johtuvan tapaturmasta vaan toisen henkilön tahallisesta teosta ja koska vahingoittumisen ei voitu katsoa olevan syy-yhteydessä varusmiespalveluksen suorittamiseen, ei hänellä ollut oikeutta sotilastapaturmalain mukaiseen korvaukseen. Valtiokonttori oli sittemmin myöntänyt rikosvahinkojen korvaamisesta valtion varoista annetun lain mukaisen korvauksen. Tapaturmalautakunnan päätöstä ei muutettu. II-jaosto
