Key legal question
Whether the insured's complaints after 31 August 2005 remained causally related to the accident and entitled him to continued accident insurance benefits.
Extracted holding
The accident-related consequences had ceased by 31 August 2005; no further entitlement to benefits existed from 1 September 2005.
Extracted reasoning
The HWS complaints were not supported by organically demonstrable residual lesions, the sternocleidomastoid injury had largely regressed, and the ulnar neuropathy had been sustainably improved after surgery. The remaining subjective complaints lacked an objective somatic substrate and were not sufficient to establish continuing liability.
