Social insurance remanded for neurological investigation

ATA/532/1998Cour de justice / Verwaltungskammer01.09.1998Remanded

Von Omnilex extrahiert

Omnilex-Zusammenfassung

The claimant’s invalidity was assessed quite differently by the disability insurance, the occupational pension scheme and CNA. Since CNA had not investigated the neurological complaints, the factual record was incomplete. The court therefore remanded the case to CNA for further inquiries and a fresh decision.

Omnilex-Regeste

Art. 6 LAA; where the insured person’s neurological complaints are relevant to the assessment of accident-related incapacity and have not been examined by the accident insurer, the factual findings are incomplete and the decision cannot stand. Divergent assessments by other social insurers may reveal the need for further medical investigation, in particular where the disputed impairments were not addressed by the deciding authority; the matter must then be remitted for supplementary evidence taking and a new decision.

Résumé

Cas dans lequel le taux d'invalidité a été évalué de façon très différente par l'AI, la LPP et la CNA. Dès lors que les problèmes neurologiques du recourant n'ont pas fait l'objet d'investigation de la part de la CNA, la cause doit être renvoyée à celle-ci.

Kernrechtsfrage

Whether CNA had to investigate the claimant’s neurological problems before deciding on disability-related consequences.

Extrahierter Entscheid

Yes. Because the neurological complaints were not examined by CNA, the matter had to be sent back for further inquiry.

Extrahierte Begründung

The divergent disability assessments by the different insurers indicated that the factual basis was incomplete. In particular, CNA had not addressed the neurological issues, so the factual findings were insufficient for a final decision.
