Insurance Claim Denial Over Rotator Cuff Rupture Causation
Svizzera · Canton Svitto (CH-SZ)
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAA claimant appealed a decision by an insurance entity concerning a claim for benefits related to a rotator cuff rupture sustained in an accident. The core of the dispute involved whether the injury constituted an insured event under accident insurance provisions. The court reasoned that while the claimant suffered a fall, the medical evidence, including expert opinions, did not establish a sufficient causal link between the fall and the subsequent rotator cuff rupture, concluding that the rupture was likely degenerative rather than traumatically caused by the accident, thereby upholding the denial of benefits.
