Work injury claim dismissed because subsequent ankle and foot injuries lack causal link to original shoulder fracture.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the claimant's request for compensation regarding subsequent ankle and foot injuries sustained after the initial work-related shoulder fracture. The court found no factual basis to establish a causal connection between the original accident and the later diagnosed joint damage.
