Insurance court dismissed claim for work-related disability benefits due to lack of sufficient medical evidence linking job duties to illness.

The Finnish Insurance Court dismissed the claim for work-related disability benefits filed by a 59-year-old road construction site foreman. The applicant argued that his long-term respiratory illness, including bronchitis and emphysema, was caused by his work duties and off-hours responsibilities. The court rejected this assertion because the medical evidence failed to establish a direct causal link between the specific job tasks and the diagnosed condition.
