Questão jurídica principal
Whether accident insurance benefits had to continue after end-October 2004 because the June 2003 accident still caused the insured's complaints.
Decisão extraída
The insurer did not prove, on the balance of probabilities, that the accident had lost all causal significance by end-October 2004; benefits had to continue until case closure.
Fundamentação extraída
The court found a probable accident-triggered aggravation of a pre-existing elbow condition and considered the later pain syndrome causally linked to the accident. The insurer failed to establish that the status quo ante or status quo sine had been reached.
