The Supreme Court of Poland revoked the lower court's dismissal of a worker's claim for one-time compensation due to a workplace accident. The court found that the lower court incorrectly assumed the accident occurred on-site without sufficient evidence, despite the worker's testimony and witness statements indicating the fall happened on the sidewalk before entering the facility. Consequently, the case was remanded for a new trial to determine the precise location of the incident and the medical expert opinion linking the head injury to the accident.
