Society and not the health services decides for which diseases damages can be paid and which diseases may be defined asoccupational. Society thus should also decide which change of diseases and other circumstances should be the reason to stoppaying damages on account of occupational diseases. From a purely medical aspect it is possible to create various criteria fordeciding whether the occupational diseases still persists. It would be however reasonable if these criteria would correlate withprinciples defined by society for paying damages on account of occupational diseases. So far this is not the case and the more issueof a medical decision that a disease not longer persists is of no importance for the patient’s demands for damages on account of anoccupational diseases not for his opportunity to obtain suitable work.
Key words: occupational diseases, termination of occupational diseases, assessment criteria, damages
