The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal concerning the causal relationship between a traffic accident and subsequent psychiatric symptoms. The appellant argued that the accident caused a mental disorder, while the opposing party contended the symptoms were pre-existing or unrelated. The court ruled that the evidence failed to establish a direct causal link between the accident and the development of the psychiatric condition.

Syy-yhteyden osoittaminen: Jos syy-yhteyttä ei voida osoittaa, onnettomuuden aiheuttama vamma tai vaurio ei ole oikeudellista seurausta. Syy-yhteyden puute johtaa vakuutuksen hylkäämiseen.
