Supreme Court dismisses claim for occupational disease compensation for shoulder tendonitis in a butcher.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the claimant's request for compensation regarding shoulder tendonitis, ruling it was not an occupational disease. The court found that the inflammation resulted from general physical strain inherent to the profession rather than a specific, excessive workload or unique hazard. Consequently, the claim failed because the injury did not meet the strict criteria for occupational disease recognition under Finnish law.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedLain 1347/1991 1 luku 1 §; 2 luku 1 §: Occupational disease compensation is only granted when the injury arises from specific, excessive work-related hazards, not merely from the general physical demands of the profession.
