Key legal question
Whether accident insurance benefits were still owed after 2008-03-31 because the shoulder complaints remained causally linked to the accident.
Extracted holding
No; the complaints were no longer predominantly caused by the accident, as degenerative, non-accidental conditions had become decisive.
Extracted reasoning
The MEDAS interdisciplinary report was considered probative despite the changed case law on expert appointment, because it had been obtained under the then-applicable procedure and no concrete recusal objections were raised. The medical record overall supported that only unfallfremde degenerative findings persisted after about four months.
