Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the insurer could stop daily benefits and deny a disability pension because the knee complaints were no longer causally linked to the accident.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The accident no longer had legal significance for the ongoing knee complaints; causation had ceased and no further benefits were owed.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court preferred the view that the claimant’s current problems stemmed from substantial pre-existing arthrosis. Even if the medical opinions differed on whether the prior condition had been aggravated, the decisive point was that the knee complaints did not reduce work capacity in the adapted occupation, so no compensable loss of earnings remained.
