Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the May 2008 right-knee complaints and surgery were naturally causally linked to the accident of 9 October 2007.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The later knee complaints and meniscal injury were predominantly probably a natural consequence of the accident, so the insurer remained liable for the follow-up costs.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court relied on consistent medical reports describing persistent symptoms between the accident and the surgery, the operative and MRI findings, and the more convincing specialist opinion. The insurer's consulting physician only assessed the causal link as possible and did not convincingly rule out accident-related causation or identify a specific non-accident degeneration.
