Questão jurídica principal
Whether the insured person's valid income should be based on actual pre-injury earnings or on a branch average as an electrician.
Decisão extraída
The valid income had to be based on the industry-average wage for an electrician at qualification level 3, not on the lower actual earnings from irregular jobs or a hypothetical minimum income.
Fundamentação extraída
Despite severe youth hardships and drug addiction, the insured person completed an apprenticeship and worked for years in his trained profession. The record did not show that he would have voluntarily limited himself to minor employment in good health.
