AI generated

The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for a death benefit after the insured employee died in a traffic accident while traveling between two work sites in Finland and Sweden. The court found that the accident did not occur under the specific conditions of work-related travel defined by law, as the journey was not considered a direct commute from home to the workplace. Consequently, the death was not classified as a work-related accident, and the claim for compensation was rejected.
