Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cervical disc herniation was in natural causal relation to the accident of 19 February 2008.
Decisão extraída
The herniation was at least triggered by the accident; the causal link was sufficiently established.
Fundamentação extraída
Immediate neck pain after the collision, later objective findings, pre-existing degeneration, and the mechanism described by the medical experts allowed the court to accept that the accident caused extrusion of disc material without requiring a new expert opinion.
