The Supreme Court dismissed the claim that a torn rotator cuff constituted a work-related accident. The insured argued the injury occurred during work, while the employer contended it was a personal injury unrelated to employment duties. The court determined that the specific nature of the injury did not arise from the work environment or tasks, thus rejecting the work accident classification.
