Work accident claim dismissed; short break to retrieve keys does not sever work connection.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that recognized a leg fracture as a work-related accident. The plaintiff argued the injury occurred while retrieving lost keys, but the court found this brief interruption was justified and did not sever the connection to work. Consequently, the court upheld the lower court's decision that the employee remained engaged in work duties during the short break.
