A variety of different factors may participate in causing an accident or in influencing its course. These have different legal consequences in different areas of insurance. These differences are outlined for the assessment areas, together with the different states of evidence. In particular, it is discussed whether and under which conditions a trauma can indirectly (as a participating factor) either cause, trigger or exacerbate detachment of the retina.

In General Accident Insurance, loss of sight in one eye is assessed as giving a 25â% reduction in earning capacity. This does not exclude the possibility that a greater reduction in earning capacity can be assessed for this eye. The ophthalmological situation is outlined under which a much greater reduction in earning capacity can be assessed, if there is not misassessment.
