Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the post-1999 complaints remained adequately causally linked to the insured skiing accident.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The accident was a medium-severity event at the upper end of the scale, and three relevant criteria were met; adequate causation was therefore established.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that the later symptoms were still significantly driven by the cervical and cranial trauma, not solely by a separate psychiatric condition. Under the specific adequacy test for whiplash-like and cranio-cerebral trauma, the violent collision, intensity of pain, and prolonged incapacity sufficed.
