The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the cassation appeal against a social insurance agency's decision denying a work accident disability pension. The applicant suffered severe injuries in a 1991 work accident but later developed degenerative spine conditions, which expert panels deemed unrelated to the accident. The appellate court rejected the applicant's arguments without reconciling contradictions between the experts' conclusions and the applicant's own medical opinions. The court ruled that the lower court failed to sufficiently establish the causal link between the accident and the disability, violating procedural requirements for evidence assessment.
