Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the complaints after 2005-02-28 remained in a natural causal link with the 2003 rear-end collision, so that further SUVA benefits were owed.
Decisione estratta
The causal link had ceased by the end of February 2005; the continuing complaints were no longer attributable to the accident in a legally relevant way.
Motivazione estratta
The medical record showed significant pre-existing degenerative cervical and lumbar conditions. The accident initially triggered a whiplash injury, but by the time benefits were stopped the picture was dominated by degenerative changes and had lost its accident-related character.
