Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the July 2004 accident was in natural causal relation to the lumbar disc herniation operated on 28 February 2006
Extrahierter Entscheid
No natural causal link was proven; the accident was at most a predisposing factor and did not trigger the hernia.
Extrahierte Begründung
The expert considered a direct traumatic causation very unlikely: there were no lumbar complaints at the time, a quasi-silent herniation lasting 18 months was implausible, and the later pathology was more consistent with degenerative development.
