Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the post-30 April 1999 back complaints remained a natural causal consequence of the accident of 10 January 1996
Extrahierter Entscheid
The natural causal link had ceased by 1 May 1999 at the latest; the ongoing complaints were attributable to non-accident-related degenerative causes.
Extrahierte Begründung
The medical records, especially the concordant opinions of the reviewing specialists, showed pre-existing degenerative spinal changes. The court found it established that the accident-triggered causes had lost their causal significance by 1 May 1999, despite differing interpretations of imaging.
