Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the insurer had to continue statutory accident benefits after 1 March 2003
Extrahierter Entscheid
The insurer was not required to continue benefits, because the accident probably caused only a temporary symptom flare-up that had ended by the end of February 2003.
Extrahierte Begründung
The medical evidence showed a pre-existing degenerative disc condition; the accident was not severe enough to cause the herniation itself, only to trigger pain. The court found the external expert reports convincing and concluded that the status quo sine/ante had been reached by 1 March 2003.
