Legislator summary

The Insurance Court reversed the State Office's decision to deny post-hearing medical expenses and lost wages. The State Office had dismissed these claims because the insured never established a right to compensation for the original damages in the prior proceedings. The court held that since no judgment was required for these specific costs after the preliminary hearing, the State Office lacked grounds to reject them based on the earlier outcome.

Valtiokonttori oli hylännyt jatkokorvauksen sairaanhoitokulujen ja työansionmenetyksen osalta, koska X:lle ei ollut vahingonkorvausoikeudenkäynnissä vahvistettu oikeutta saada korvausta vaadittujen kulujen ja kyseessä olevan menetyksen osalta vahingon aiheuttajalta. Koska alioikeuskäsittelyn jälkeen aiheutuneiden sairaanhoitokulujen ja työansionmenetyksen osalta ei vaadita vahingonkorvaustuomiota, Valtiokonttorin ei olisi tullut mainitsemallaan perusteella hylätä alioikeuden päätöksen jälkeen aiheutuneita sairaanhoitokuluja ja työansionmenetystä. Valtiokonttorin päätös kumottiin ja asia palautettiin uudelleen käsiteltäväksi.
