The Finnish Insurance Court dismissed the claim for accidental dental injury sustained by a company executive during a lunch hosted by the employer. The plaintiff argued the tooth fracture occurred while eating, but the court found the injury resulted from the employer's role as host rather than an external accident. Consequently, the court ruled that the injury did not qualify as an insurable accident under the relevant insurance terms.
