Questão jurídica principal
Whether the disc hernias and later back complaints were causally related to the 30 November 2000 accident under accident insurance law.
Decisão extraída
The accident was not shown to have caused the disc hernias; the complaints were attributed to degenerative changes, and the exceptional criteria for accident causation were not met.
Fundamentação extraída
The vertebral/radicular syndrome did not appear immediately, the insured was still able to continue working after the event, and the medical records were more consistent with a degenerative origin than with an accident-induced herniation.
