Questão jurídica principal
Whether the continuing complaints after 30 April 2008 remained in adequate causal connection with the accident
Decisão extraída
The court held that the post-accident psychological problems were an independent psychical disorder, not merely symptoms of the HWS injury, so the adequacy had to be assessed under the rules for psychic accident consequences.
Fundamentação extraída
The medical file showed an early, persistent and escalating psychiatric condition requiring treatment; functional somatic complaints became secondary. This supported a separate psychical illness triggered by the accident but not by the HWS distortion itself.
