Key legal question
Whether the appeal was admissible without a prior objection decision against the insurer's decision.
Extracted holding
The appeal was filed prematurely because the challenged decision was subject to objection and no objection decision had been issued.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 56 LPGA, only objection decisions, or decisions for which no objection is available, may be appealed to the cantonal court. Here, the claimant had not first used the objection procedure required by Art. 52 LPGA, despite being informed of that remedy.
