Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the March 2006 ski accident remained the natural causal cause of the later back complaints and disc herniation under military insurance law.
Decisione estratta
The accident did not remain a legally relevant natural cause for the complaints appearing again from February 2009 onward; only a temporary aggravation of a pre-existing spinal condition was established.
Motivazione estratta
The case file showed prior spinal treatment and degenerative findings, while the accident was not unusually severe and did not cause structural spinal lesions or a lasting incapacity. The medical reports supporting causation relied largely on a post hoc inference and were therefore unconvincing.
