Questione giuridica chiave
Whether complaints after 30 June 2005 were still naturally and adequately causally linked to the 1998 accident so as to justify continued accident-insurance benefits.
Decisione estratta
Even if natural causation were assumed, the adequate causal connection was not established under the Schleudertrauma line of case law; only two relevant criteria were met and not in particularly marked form.
Motivazione estratta
The accident was classified as a medium-severity event in the middle range. No exceptional dramatic circumstances, no medical malpractice, no particularly severe injury pattern, no difficult healing course and no significant additional burden from treatment were shown. The fulfilled criteria of significant complaints and significant work incapacity with efforts were insufficient.
