Insurance court ruled free-time accident compensation is not a benefit under TEL 8 § 1 for settlement purposes.

The Insurance Court dismissed the applicant's request to include free-time accident compensation in the settlement calculation under TEL 8 § 1. The applicant argued this benefit should be considered, while the opposing party contended it was merely a supplementary insurance not equivalent to a statutory benefit. The court determined that the compensation under the Accident Insurance Act did not meet the legal definition of a benefit subject to adjustment in the settlement.
