Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the insured's psychiatric disorders were in natural causal connection with the 1996 accident after 1997-12-01
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The court accepted the judicial psychiatric expertise and held that the accident remained a natural cause of the insured's psychic impairments.
Extrahierte Begründung
The judicial experts were more persuasive than the insurer’s advisers; the accident triggered the disorders and later factors did not break causation. The insurer’s criticism of the non-classical diagnosis of complicated grief did not undermine the experts’ overall conclusions.
