Key legal question
Whether Suva had to continue UVG benefits beyond 2016-10-31 for the 2015 accident
Extracted holding
The accident caused only a temporary aggravation of a pre-existing cervical condition; causal effects ended by 2016-10-31 at the latest.
Extracted reasoning
The court found no overwhelming probability that the accident caused or materially worsened the C4/5 disc herniation. The mechanism was not of exceptional severity, and radicular symptoms appeared only later, not immediately after the accident. Ongoing complaints were attributed to non-accident-related degenerative changes.
