Choking on coffee can be considered a workplace accident
“Good morning, first a coffee, please!”
The Regional Social Court (Landessozialgericht, LSG) of Saxony-Anhalt recently addressed the issue of coffee consumption in the workplace and ruled:
A fall resulting from choking while drinking coffee may, in certain cases, constitute a workplace accident under statutory accident insurance law (Judgment of May 22, 2025 – Case No. L 6 U 45/23).
