Work injury claim dismissed because delayed medical report broke causal link between accident and injury.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the claimant's work injury compensation request due to a significant delay in seeking medical treatment. Although the claimant suffered a knee injury from a bicycle accident while delivering mail, he did not see a doctor until a month later. The court ruled that this delay broke the causal link required to establish the injury as a work-related accident.
