Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the complaints after 30 June 2006 remained in a legally relevant causal link with the 7 February 1998 accident
Decisione estratta
Yes. The complaints were at least partly naturally caused by the accident and, under whiplash jurisprudence, adequately causally linked.
Motivazione estratta
There were no objectively verifiable structural lesions, but the medical record and the psychiatric report supported ongoing accident-related complaints. Because the case involved a typical somatic-psychic whiplash symptom pattern rather than a separate psychiatric disorder, the whiplash adequacy criteria applied. The criterion of significant incapacity despite documented efforts was especially pronounced.
