Non-probative medical evidence leads to remand to CNA

ATA/214/1997Cour de justice / Verwaltungskammer08.04.1997Remanded

Von Omnilex extrahiert

Omnilex-Zusammenfassung

The court held that the medical reports could not be relied upon because the insured had failed to disclose relevant prior medical conditions. As CNA was therefore unable to decide the accident insurance claim on a complete factual basis, the matter was sent back to CNA for renewed examination and decision.

Omnilex-Regeste

LAA art. 18; probative value of medical assessments in accident insurance proceedings; if relevant prior medical history is not disclosed by the insured and the insurer cannot assess the claim on a complete factual basis, the medical evidence lacks probative force. In such a situation, the decision must be annulled and the matter remitted to the insurer for further clarification and a new decision (consid. unspecified).

Kernrechtsfrage

Whether the medical assessments were probative despite undisclosed prior medical history.

Extrahierter Entscheid

No. The assessments were not sufficiently reliable because relevant antecedents had not been disclosed.

Extrahierte Begründung

The court found that CNA had not been able to determine the claim with full knowledge of the facts, as the medical basis was incomplete and therefore not decisive.

Kernrechtsfrage

Whether the matter should be sent back to CNA for a new decision.

Extrahierter Entscheid

Yes. The case had to be remitted to CNA for further clarification and a new assessment.

Extrahierte Begründung

Because the factual basis was incomplete, the authority could not validly rule on the accident insurance claim and a referral was necessary.
