Questão jurídica principal
Whether the right-hip coxarthrosis was in natural and adequate causal relation to the 16 February 2001 accident as a relapse or late sequela.
Decisão extraída
The causal link was not established to the required degree of predominant probability; the hip condition was pre-existing and followed its natural course.
Fundamentação extraída
The decisive medical opinion found no traumatic lesion on the initial radiographs, only degenerative changes and a pre-existing coxarthrosis. The first mention of hip problems came much later, and no doctor linked the accident to a traumatic hip injury with sufficient certainty.
