Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the insurer remained liable for benefits for vestibular-ocular complaints after the accident
Decisione estratta
The medical record was insufficiently clarified; the case had to be remanded for additional investigation before deciding continued liability.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that the later-discovered congenital malformation, possibly functionally revealed by the accident, had not been considered by earlier experts. The private otology expert's report was sufficiently probative and suggested probable causal linkage, but further clarification was still required on statu quo sine/ante and on whether treatment and durable impairment conditions were met.
