Key legal question
Whether the claimant was entitled to accident-insurance benefits after 2007-01-01 because her continuing symptoms remained causally linked to the 2006 accident.
Extracted holding
The court held that, even assuming a natural causal link persisted, the adequate causal link had ceased by 2007-01-01 at the latest; benefits could therefore be discontinued.
Extracted reasoning
The collision was a minor to medium accident at the lower end of the scale, without special dramatic circumstances or particular bodily injury. Treatment was limited mainly to analgesics and physiotherapy, and only prolonged incapacity for work was established. That criterion alone was insufficient to establish adequate causation. Medical evidence did not justify a different conclusion.
