KKO 478/2012
Generato dall'IA
Supreme Court dismisses work injury claim where ankle pain stems from prior injury, not the accident.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the claimant's request for compensation regarding prolonged ankle and heel pain. The court found that the heel area had been compressed prior to the accident, causing the injury, rather than the work accident itself. Consequently, the causal link between the work injury and the subsequent pain was not established.
