Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the shoulder surgery of 2013-10-15 and related incapacity were causally linked to the accident of 2013-02-04.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The court accepted the judicial orthopedic expert opinion and found that the accident remained a natural cause of the symptoms treated by surgery, so Suva had to cover the operation and the resulting incapacity.
Motivazione estratta
The expert convincingly explained that the accident caused or activated a chronic subacromial bursitis and possibly an activated AC-joint arthrosis, while the court found no compelling reason to depart from that opinion.
