AI generated
Work accident status determined by external cause and work connection, not doctor's report date or symptom symbol.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that classified an employee's injury as a work accident. The appellant argued that the lack of a specific work accident symbol on the medical certificate and the late notification to the employer invalidated the classification. The court held that these procedural details are irrelevant, as the decisive factors are the external physical cause and the causal link to work duties.
