Key legal question
Whether the right shoulder complaints were probably caused by the 1995 accident and thus compensable under accident insurance.
Extracted holding
The shoulder complaints were not shown to be predominantly likely accident-related; the earlier medical records did not support immediate shoulder symptoms, and the later findings pointed to degeneration.
Extracted reasoning
The court preferred the contemporaneous medical records and the SUVA physician’s assessment over later opinions based on a different factual assumption. The first documented shoulder complaints appeared only months after the accident, which broke the causal chain.
