Question juridique clé
Whether the shoulder injury qualified as an accident-equivalent bodily injury under Art. 9(2) OLAA.
Solution extraite
The tear of the supraspinatus tendon remained an accident-equivalent injury because the fall triggered symptoms and a causal external event could not be excluded.
Motifs extraits
For Art. 9(2) OLAA injuries, the question is not whether degeneration played a role, but whether an external event triggered the symptoms; where accident-like causation cannot be clearly excluded, the insurer must treat the lesion as accident-equivalent.
