Key legal question
Whether the car accident remained adequately causally linked to the insured's continuing incapacity after 31 December 2004
Extracted holding
Yes. The accident was a medium-severity event at the border of severe accidents, and two adäquacy criteria were met, so liability continued.
Extracted reasoning
The accident had a striking external course and serious injuries. At least partial memory of the event remained, making the occurrence particularly impressive. Persistent head and neck pain were bodily symptoms attributable to the accident and relevant in the psychogenic-sequelae adäquacy analysis.
