Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court's decision to reduce civil compensation for a work injury. The plaintiff had received social insurance benefits that were fully utilized to cover medical expenses and prosthetic costs resulting from the accident. The court ruled that since these benefits already offset the material damage, no further reduction of the civil compensation was legally justified.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 445 § 1 k.c.; Art. 444 § 1 k.c.; Art. 362 k.c.: Compensation for personal injury is not reduced by social insurance benefits if those benefits were entirely consumed to cover the material damage caused by the injury.
