Question juridique clé
Whether the adequate causal link between the accident and the insured's ongoing complaints had to be assessed under the whiplash case law and, if so, whether the cantonal court applied the correct criteria.
Solution extraite
The cantonal court did not examine the case under the updated whiplash adequacy criteria; the matter had to be remitted for completion of findings and a new decision.
Motifs extraits
The medical evidence did not show objectively verifiable organic lesions. For such complaints, adequacy must be reviewed using the specific criteria developed for cervical-whiplash and analogous injuries. The cantonal findings were insufficient to assess those criteria.
