Question juridique clé
Whether the March 12, 2007 misstep while walking on the sidewalk constitutes an external event for an accidental bodily injury under Art. 6(2) UVG and Art. 9(2) UVV.
Solution extraite
Yes. The misstep and resulting ankle buckling were a distinct external moment beyond mere ordinary walking, so the external-factor requirement was met.
Motifs extraits
Ordinary walking alone is not enough, but a misstep causing the foot to buckle introduces a distinguishable external element with sufficient harmful potential. A pre-existing predisposition does not exclude coverage if an external triggering event occurs.
