The court dismissed the plaintiff's claim for disability benefits but awarded a separate sum for work-related inability to work. The plaintiff argued that a long-term medical leave justified a payout under the insurance contract's additional option D1, while the defendant only paid a minor injury compensation. The court relied on an expert opinion confirming the injury prevented the plaintiff from working as a seamstress and applied the contract's specific clause for daily disability payments.
