Key legal question
Whether the insured's ongoing complaints after 2005-10-30 remained in natural causal relation to the accident of 2005-01-28.
Extracted holding
No. The court upheld the finding that, after about nine months, the insured had reached the status quo sine and that the continuing complaints were due to a pre-existing degenerative cervical condition.
Extracted reasoning
The lower court could rely on consistent medical reports from CNA doctors; no practitioner contradicted them. The insured's argument based only on the temporal sequence of symptoms was insufficient and amounted to post hoc, ergo propter hoc reasoning, which is not accepted.
