Key legal question
Whether the alleged tick bite and subsequent symptoms were proven to cause Lyme borreliosis with sufficient probability
Extracted holding
The evidence did not make it more likely than not that a borrelia infection or Lyme borreliosis caused the insured's condition.
Extracted reasoning
The court relied on two expert opinions finding the symptoms nonspecific, the laboratory and imaging results inconclusive or negative, and the treating doctor's contrary view insufficiently persuasive.
