Supreme Court dismissed claim for work injury compensation due to lack of causal link between pre-existing conditions and accident.

The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the applicant's claim for work-related injury compensation regarding broad lower limb and back pain. The applicant argued that these chronic conditions were caused by the work accident, while the opposing party contended they were pre-existing and unrelated. The court ruled that the evidence failed to establish a direct causal connection between the specific accident and the applicant's long-term suffering.
