Résumé Omnilex

The tribunal confirmed the refusal of an invalidity pension in accident insurance. Although the claimant suffered a knee injury, the court found that he remained capable of working at full capacity. As a result, the pension claim was rejected.

Regeste Omnilex

Art. 18 LAA; entitlement to an invalidity pension requires a loss of earning capacity of the legally relevant degree. Where the medical and occupational assessment shows that the insured person can still perform full-time work despite the residual impairment, the conditions for a pension are not met and the refusal must be upheld.
