Question juridique clé
Whether the dental treatment costs for teeth 11 and 12 were caused by the accident and thus covered under Art. 31(2) KVG.
Solution extraite
The accident was at least a partial and temporally determining natural cause; adequate causation was also present, so mandatory health insurance had to cover the treatment.
Motifs extraits
The lower court’s assessment that the teeth were stable for ordinary use before the accident was supported by the treating dentist’s detailed report. The insurer’s contrary brief opinions lacked evidentiary value. Because the teeth would likely withstand normal loading, the accident was not a mere coincidental trigger.
