The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for a work accident compensation regarding a partial tear of the double tendon in the worker's left leg. The employee argued the injury resulted from a work-related exertion, while the insurer contended it stemmed from an excessive physical effort beyond normal duties. The court ruled that the injury did not meet the legal threshold for a compensable work accident due to the nature of the exertion.
