Omnilex-Zusammenfassung

The case concerns whether an insured person suffering from an ordinary accident-induced neurosis combined with a revendication neurosis is entitled to a one-time capital benefit. The court accepts that this constellation falls within Article 23 LAA and supports the granting of a lump-sum indemnity.

Omnilex-Regeste

Art. 23 LAA; accident-induced neurosis combined with a tendency to revendication may justify a one-time capital benefit. Where the post-accident psychic sequelae consist of an ordinary traumatic neurosis together with revendication features, the insured condition can be assessed as meeting the statutory prerequisites for a lump-sum indemnity rather than only periodic benefits.
