Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland allowed the insurance claim regarding post-traumatic stress disorder. The insured suffered a stabbing in June 1990 but did not manifest symptoms until September 1995. The court ruled that the delay in symptom appearance did not break the causal link between the injury and the psychological condition.
