A Finnish woman has won a legal battle against insurer Lähitapiola after the company deployed investigators to follow her and allegedly claim she was faking a brain injury sustained in a 2017 moose collision. The woman suffered serious injuries in the accident and sought compensation for resulting disability. Lähitapiola questioned the severity of her injuries, leading to the investigation. Both the district court and the Vaasa Court of Appeal ruled in the woman’s favor, affirming that her inability to work is entirely attributable to the car crash. The Court of Appeal upheld the previous ruling just before Midsummer. The case highlights concerns about insurance companies challenging legitimate injury claims.
