Fall over dog leash is not an accident at work
The Social Court of Dortmund (SG Dortmund) has ruled that a fall over the leash of one's own dog on the way to work is not an accident at work within the meaning of statutory accident insurance (judgment of 07.07.2025, ref. S 18 U 347/24). The decisive factor was that carrying the dog had no significant operational connection and therefore did not fall within the insured area.
