Omnilex-Zusammenfassung

The administrative court confirmed the challenged decision in an accident-insurance dispute concerning an invalidity pension. It held that the insured person remained able to work at 100% in an adapted activity with frequent changes of position and could earn about CHF 3,000 per month. On that basis, the court upheld the assessment and rejected the appellant’s challenge.

Omnilex-Regeste

Art. 6 LAA; invalidity pension and residual earning capacity: where the insured person remains capable of performing an adapted activity at 100% with frequent changes of position, the decisive criterion is the economically established earning capacity in that activity. If the evidence supports a monthly residual income of about CHF 3,000, the pension assessment may be upheld (consid. not stated).
