Resumo Omnilex

Following an accident, the insured person received a 100% disability assessment from AI and a 60% assessment from CNA. The court confirmed CNA’s rate, holding that its file was based on complete and detailed medical reports, while the AI assessment was too summary and failed to consider the insured’s objectively exigible residual capacity.

Sumário Omnilex

LAA 6; assessment of disability rate in coordination between insurers and authorities; probative value of medical reports. Where several disability assessments diverge, the court gives decisive weight to the evaluation founded on complete, detailed, and methodologically coherent medical evidence. A summary assessment that omits consideration of the objectively exigible residual earning or working capacity does not prevail over a more substantiated file (consid. unspecified).

Questão jurídica principal

Whether the CNA could rely on its assessment to fix the disability rate at 60% instead of 100%.

Decisão extraída

Yes. The CNA assessment was upheld because it was based on complete and detailed medical reports, whereas the AI reports were summary in nature and did not account for objectively required residual capacity.

Fundamentação extraída

The court accepted the CNA evaluation as more persuasive and methodologically sound, given the quality and completeness of the supporting medical evidence and the failure of the AI assessment to address what was objectively still exigible from the insured.
