Omnilex-Zusammenfassung

The case concerns accident insurance benefits after a moderate accident causing a multifragmentary femur fracture and knee instability. The court held that once the insured person's condition had stabilized, the CNA had to pay an invalidity pension under Art. 18 LAA instead of continuing daily allowances. It also confirmed the 5% impairment-of-integrity compensation. Finally, it annulled the decision to resume the claimant's usual work at 100%, taking into account the claimant's current profound depression.

Omnilex-Regeste

Art. 18 LAA; stabilization of the state of health and substitution of daily allowances by an invalidity pension; once the medical condition is stabilized, entitlement to daily allowances ceases and pension benefits are assessed from that point. An impairment-of-integrity compensation may be upheld if the medical findings support the percentage fixed. A reassessment of work capacity cannot be sustained where a relevant psychiatric disorder prevents a return to full habitual work capacity.
