ATA/343/1997 ΓÇó Accident insurance: no work incapacity after finger injury
ATA/343/1997Tribunal de Justiça / Câmara Administrativa3 de jun. de 1997Dismissed
The case concerns accident insurance after a finger/hand injury and an alleged relapse. The recourant, a tiler by profession, claimed continuing incapacity to work. The court held that he was fully able to resume his professional activity, so the request for accident-insurance benefits failed.
LAA art. 16; accident insurance benefits and incapacity to work after relapse and upper-limb injury. Where the insured person is medically found capable of fully resuming the customary profession, entitlement to ongoing daily benefits or other incapacity-based accident-insurance prestations falls away. The existence of a finger or hand lesion, including a fracture, is not in itself decisive; the legally relevant question is the resulting functional limitation and work capacity in the insured occupation.
