Key legal question
Whether the insured’s continuing complaints after 2005-09-30 remained naturally and adequately causally linked to the accident.
Extracted holding
The causal link for further benefits was not proven to have ceased; the case had to be assessed under the HWS whiplash doctrine, but the accident was not adequately causal for complaints beyond 2005-09-30.
Extracted reasoning
The medical file did not show an organic lesion explaining the complaints, but the whiplash-specific symptom complex was still present and not clearly dominated by psychiatric pathology. Yet the accident was only borderline minor, and none of the relevant adumbrative criteria were met in a sufficiently pronounced or cumulative manner.
