Extrait par Omnilex

Résumé Omnilex

The court confirmed an impairment award of 2.5% for a wrist stiffness caused by a military accident, based on the remaining limitation in flexion. It also held that the percentage tables in Annex 3 OLAA cannot be applied to military accidents, which are assessed under the specific military accident legislation.

Regeste Omnilex

LAM 49; military accident compensation and impairment award; the percentage values in Annex 3 OLAA do not apply to military accidents. In determining the indemnity for impairment, the specific statutory regime governing military accidents prevails over the accident-insurance schedule. A residual functional limitation may justify only a modest impairment rate, which the court will confirm if it is not shown to be manifestly inadequate.
