Key legal question
Whether the insurer could stop paying treatment costs from 2008-12-19 because the accident-related causal link had ended
Extracted holding
Yes. The courts found no proven natural causal link between the fall and the herniated disc beyond that date, so the insurer could end benefits.
Extracted reasoning
The accident was assessed as a relatively minor, ordinary fall; there was no immediate radicular syndrome; symptoms did not cause work incapacity. The appellant did not show arbitrariness in those findings.
