The Finnish Insurance Court dismissed the employee's claim for work injury compensation regarding chronic right shoulder inflammation. The employee argued that daily tasks involving carrying and squeezing heavy rolls of tape directly caused the condition, while the insurer denied liability citing insufficient medical evidence of causation. The court ruled that the medical findings did not establish a direct causal link between the specific job duties and the diagnosed shoulder inflammation.
