Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the complaints persisting after 31 August 2006 remained in natural and adequate causal connection with the accident of 4 November 2003.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The accident was classified as an accident in the borderline range to severe accidents; the dramatic and immediately life-threatening nature of the event sufficed to affirm adequacy.
Motivazione estratta
The court found the accident objectively very dramatic: high-speed motorway crash, vehicle skidding and overturning, passenger ejected. For such a case, one fulfilled adequacy criterion was enough. Thus the continued complaints were still causally linked.
