Supreme Court allows accident insurance claim despite new medical evidence appearing after lower court proceedings.

The Supreme Court of Finland allowed the accident insurance claim filed by the applicant regarding an accident occurring on January 12, 1993. Although the lower courts had previously dismissed the request, the applicant successfully introduced new medical examination results that were not available during those earlier proceedings. The court ruled that the right to claim compensation under the Accident Insurance Act remains valid even if new evidence emerges after the initial lower court decisions, provided the claim is based on the original accident.
