Negligent Attorney Dismissal Based on Insufficient Injury Threshold
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe court dismissed the appeal for damages against the former legal representative for failing to file an appeal against a social insurance decision, as the ensuing disability rating of 2% was insufficient to warrant a pension claim, regardless of the attorney's negligence in assessment. The court reasoned that for the claim regarding psychological complaints to be valid, an adequate causal link to the accident was required, which was not established because the accident severity was classified as minor to medium, and the claimant failed to meet the necessary threshold of established criteria required to prove adequate causation for psychological sequelae under these circumstances. Furthermore, the calculation of hypothetical income upon invalidity, considering various employment possibilities and a 10% reduction due to physical limitations, resulted in an invalidity degree of only 2%, which did not justify a disability pension under prevailing practice.
