Estratto da Omnilex
The case concerns whether a meniscal lesion is an accident-related injury under accident insurance law. The decision holds that the lesion did not result from an accident within the meaning of Art. 9 al. 1 OLAA, so accident insurance benefits were refused.
Art. 9 al. 1 OLAA; meniscal lesion and notion of accident-related injury: a meniscal lesion is not covered merely because it is medically diagnosed as a lesion. Coverage requires that the injury fall within the legal notion of an accident or an equivalent accidental lesion. In the absence of such accidental genesis, accident insurance benefits may be refused (cf. consid. unspecified).
