Explosion While Working From Home Does Not Equal Work Accident, German Regional Social Court Rules
The Regional Social Court (Landessozialgericht (LSG)) of Berlin and Brandenburg recently ruled that injuries from jumping out of an apartment window while working from home are not covered by statutory accident insurance (judgment of October 9, 2025, Ref. No. L 21 U 47/23). The court’s decision contrasts with another regional social court’s recent ruling that choking on coffee at an employer’s worksite can qualify as a work accident under certain circumstances.
