II UKN 155/98
AI generated
Civil liability for workplace accidents is supplementary; workers cannot claim civil damages before social benefits are determined.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a worker seeking civil compensation for a workplace accident. The court found that the worker had already established a right to social benefits under the Work Accident Act, rendering a separate civil claim for damages procedurally inadmissible. Consequently, the court held that civil liability serves only as a supplementary remedy when social benefits do not fully cover the costs of injury.
