Legislator summary

AI generated

The Insurance Court dismissed the applicant's claim for disability benefits regarding a shoulder injury sustained while working as a concrete mason. The applicant argued that repetitive tasks with a hammer and chisel caused the inflammation, but the court found no sufficient causal connection between the specific job duties and the medical condition. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the injury could not be attributed to the employment activities.

Insurance Act; Workmen's Compensation Act: An injury sustained during employment is compensable only if there is a direct causal link between the specific work duties and the injury; mere presence of the work environment is insufficient.

Työntekijä oli vuodesta 1975 alkaen työskennellyt betonimiehen joutuen työssään lapioimaan, hiertämään ja käyttämään tärytintä. Joulukuussa 1978 vasen käsi oli kipeytynyt ja siinä oli todettu vasemman olkaluun ulomman sivunastan tulehdus. VAKO epäsi korvauksen. I-jaosto KKO 11.1.1983 = VAKO. (Lääkintöhallitus: Ahlman)
