Key legal question
Whether the insured’s illnesses qualify as occupational diseases under the UVG
Extracted holding
The medical record was insufficient to finally decide the occupational-disease question; a specialist expert opinion is required.
Extracted reasoning
The worker had long exposure to chemicals, solvents and heavy metals, and the treating doctors considered a causal link at least possible. The SUVA itself had issued a non-suitability decision for such exposures. The available opinions did not adequately address whether the diseases were caused or aggravated by workplace exposures.
