Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the insured had proven a whiplash-type cervical injury or equivalent mechanism from the 19 February 1998 accident.
Decisione estratta
It was not shown with the required probability that a whiplash injury or equivalent cervical injury had occurred.
Motivazione estratta
The early medical findings were slight, key symptoms appeared only later, no reliable acute whiplash diagnosis was established, and degenerative cervical findings and the atypical course spoke against such an injury.
