Employer liability for hepatitis B infection requires proof of direct blood contact due to unsafe work conditions.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that rejected his claim for damages. The plaintiff, a nurse, contracted hepatitis B while employed but failed to prove direct blood contact with infected patients during his work duties. The court held that mere contact with sick patients does not establish employer liability without evidence of unsafe conditions leading to direct blood exposure.
