The Supreme Court quashed the appellate court's dismissal of the work accident claim due to insufficient factual analysis. The applicant argued that the accident was not caused by gross negligence, while the Social Insurance Fund contended the driver's errors constituted a total exclusion of liability. The court ruled that the lower court failed to properly assess whether the driver's actions bordered on intentional misconduct, thereby incorrectly denying the work accident status.
