Questão jurídica principal
Whether the natural causal link between the 29 January 1996 accident and the ongoing complaints persisted beyond 24 April 1998
Decisão extraída
Yes. The causal link was proven with overwhelming probability despite pre-existing degeneration and later accidents.
Fundamentação extraída
Four of five expert opinions supported a continuing partial causal link; earlier degenerative findings and work capacity did not rebut this.
