Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the insured's post-2001-03-13 lumbar complaints remained causally linked to the accident and entitled her to accident benefits.
Decisione estratta
The natural causal link to the accident no longer existed after 2001-03-13; benefits beyond that date were not owed.
Motivazione estratta
The accident was relatively minor, no traumatic bone lesions were shown, medical opinions and the file indicated an older degenerative disc condition, and the later surgery and persistent complaints were not proven to be accident-related by preponderant probability.
