Résumé Omnilex

The court held that the accident insurer had not sufficiently established how far the insured person's pain limited her ability to carry out her profession. Because the medical and factual findings were incomplete, the matter was sent back for supplementary instruction and reassessment of entitlement to daily accident insurance benefits under Art. 16 para. 1 LAA.

Regeste Omnilex

Art. 16 al. 1 LAA; daily allowance and incapacity for work: the decisive question is the extent to which health impairments concretely affect the insured person’s ability to perform her occupation. If the factual findings do not permit a reliable assessment of the functional limitations and their impact on work capacity, the authority must complete the evidentiary record and cannot finally decide entitlement; remand for supplementary instruction is appropriate.
