Abstract

An expert opinion on occupational disability insurance is not a common occurrence and because of this represents a challenge for the appointed specialist. The peculiarities of the eligibility requirements for this type of insurance are described in detail in this article, including case examples. Besides the medical considerations, there are detailed, specific occupational aspects which must be considered in order to reach an expert judgment which is comprehensible for both, the contracting party and the claimant.
