Question juridique clé
Whether the insured was entitled to continued accident insurance benefits after 31 December 2005
Solution extraite
No; the accident had only temporarily aggravated a pre-existing degenerative cervical condition, and the status quo sine was reached by 4 October 2005.
Motifs extraits
The medical records were consistent that pre-existing cervical degenerative changes existed before the accident and that no structural injury or lasting worsening beyond the temporary traumatic aggravation was shown. Further evidence was unnecessary.
