Kernrechtsfrage
Whether accident insurance benefits had to continue beyond 2004-03-06 despite pre-existing spinal conditions and later back pain
Extrahierter Entscheid
The insurer proved that the accident-related causal effect had ceased by 2004-03-06; no further benefits were owed beyond that date.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court accepted the private spinal expert’s view that the status quo sine was reached after about twelve months, consistent with accepted accident-medicine doctrine for non-structural spinal aggravations. The opposing opinion relied mainly on post hoc reasoning and was therefore not probative.
