Workplace injury claim dismissed as employee failed to prove causal link between lifting and injury.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the employee's claim for work-related injury compensation regarding a torn shoulder capsule. The employee argued that lifting a box caused the injury, but the court found no evidence linking the specific lifting action to the tear. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the causal relationship required for work injury status was not established.
