Questão jurídica principal
Whether the insurer could end temporary accident benefits as of 2013-05-01
Decisão extraída
The file had to be closed as of 2013-05-01, but the insurer had to reconsider the consequences of that closure instead of merely stopping daily benefits.
Fundamentação extraída
The court accepted the judicial orthopaedic expert opinion: the accident-related condition was still causally relevant, but further treatment was no longer likely to materially improve work capacity. Therefore the end of temporary benefits was justified, yet the entitlement to permanent benefits had to be examined.
