Questione giuridica chiave
Whether SUVA could end healing treatment and daily allowance benefits as of 2004-08-31 because the ongoing back complaints were no longer causally related to the accident.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The court held that the post-August 2004 complaints were no longer shown to be naturally causally related to the accident; the status quo ante/sine had been reached.
Motivazione estratta
Medical reports consistently showed only a simple lumbar contusion without radiological trauma, neurological deficit, or objective organic substrate. Pre-existing spinal and hip conditions explained the symptoms, and further investigations were not required. Long-lasting complaints after such a minor contusion were more likely attributable to non-accident factors.
