Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the accident remained a natural cause of the claimant's later neck complaints and work incapacity
Decisione estratta
The accident remained a partial cause of the somatic neck complaints, but the cognitive/psycho-organic complaints were not shown to be predominantly caused by the accident.
Motivazione estratta
The medical evidence supported a lasting aggravation of a pre-existing cervical condition, but not a causal link for the later neuropsychological disorders, which appeared too late and were not explained by the accident severity.
