Question juridique clé
Whether the insurer could stop accident-insurance benefits as of 26 August 2009 for lack of natural and adequate causation.
Solution extraite
The appeal on the merits does not warrant further medical investigations; the lower court’s confirmation of the benefit stop stands.
Motifs extraits
The available medical file allowed the lower court to find that the status quo sine had been reached by August 2009 and, in any event, the adequacy requirement was not met. Since natural and adequate causation are cumulative, the absence of adequate causation alone sufficed to deny liability.
