Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the right-thumb complaints were causally linked to the 2014 accident and thus covered under accident insurance.
Decisione estratta
The right-thumb condition was not shown, on the balance of probabilities, to be naturally causally linked to the accident; it was instead deemed disease-related.
Motivazione estratta
The court relied on a comprehensive court expert opinion by hand surgery and neurology experts. The thumb remained symptom-free and functional for nearly two years, despite repeated medical examinations. No contemporaneous findings supported a traumatic thumb injury, and the experts considered a degenerative arthrosis process more likely.
