AI generated

The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the claimant's request to recognize a work injury stemming from a wrist fracture and ligament tear. The claimant argued that the injuries occurred while performing work duties, but the court found no sufficient causal connection between the work activities and the specific injuries sustained. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the injuries did not arise directly from the execution of work tasks.

Legislator headnote

Work Injury Act s. 1; Work Injury Act s. 2: Injuries are only recognized as work-related if they arise directly from the execution of work tasks, and a mere temporal coincidence with work hours is insufficient to establish causality.
