Supreme Court allows claim for prolonged pain and suffering after 2005 accident due to delayed medical diagnosis.

The Supreme Court of Finland allowed the plaintiff's claim for prolonged pain and suffering arising from an accident occurring after September 18, 2005. The plaintiff argued that the delay in receiving a definitive medical diagnosis caused extended physical and mental distress, while the defendant contended the injury was not directly linked to the accident. The court ruled that the causal link between the accident and the prolonged suffering was established despite the temporal gap, as the initial injury necessitated the subsequent delayed diagnosis.
