Insurance court dismisses claim for mental distress damages due to lack of direct causal link between accidents and psychological injury.

The Finnish Insurance Court dismissed the claim for damages regarding mental distress suffered by a bus driver following two traffic accidents. The driver argued that his subsequent shock and depression were direct consequences of these events, but the court found insufficient evidence establishing a direct causal link. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the plaintiff failed to prove that the accidents alone caused the psychological injury without other contributing factors.
