Work accident benefits apply to family members regardless of employee's intoxication level causing the accident.
Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that granted work accident benefits to the deceased employee's family. The court found that while the employee was intoxicated, the accident occurred during the continuous journey home from work, qualifying it as a work-related accident under the relevant statute. Consequently, the law mandates that family members receive benefits irrespective of the employee's degree of fault or contribution to the incident.
