The 2nd civil chamber of the Court of Cassation rendered a very interesting judgment on 06\/21\/2018 in the field of work accidents.\u00a0Your expert personal injury lawyer reconsiders this very important decision.<\/span><\/h1>\r\n

An employee took part in a week-long seminar organized by his employer.<\/span><\/h2>\r\n

During a free day, the employee chose to go skiing on his own.\u00a0He was injured that day.\u00a0Social security had refused to recognize\u00a0<\/span>the work accident<\/span><\/a>\u00a0since the employee had been injured during a day off and this activity had not been organized by his employer.<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

However, the judges considered that this day was included in the paid seminar week as working time and that the employee could therefore benefit from the workers' compensation scheme.<\/span><\/h4>\r\n

Consequently, even if the employee was not under the authority of his employer and that this day of skiing did not fall within the scope of his duties, the Court of Cassation decided to broaden the conditions for taking into account accidents at work very favorable to employees.<\/span><\/h4>\r\n
