Supreme Court held that prolonged psychological symptoms from workplace assault remain causally linked to the work injury.

The Supreme Court of Finland allowed the claimant's request to establish a causal link between a workplace assault and his prolonged psychological symptoms. The claimant suffered trauma from physical assault at work and argued his ongoing stress reaction was a direct consequence of the injury. The court ruled that the temporal and causal connection between the assault and the subsequent psychological condition was sufficient to recognize the symptoms as part of the work injury.
