Key legal question
Whether the insured remained entitled to accident insurance benefits after 2005-06-30 despite the insurer's termination for lack of adequate causation.
Extracted holding
The insurer's termination was upheld; the accident was only medium-severity at the edge of minor cases and none of the required adequacy criteria were met in a striking or cumulative manner.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court accepted the lower court's assessment of the medical record and held that the collision did not satisfy the adäquanz requirements under the relevant whiplash jurisprudence. The request for an additional expert opinion was rejected because the alleged inconsistency concerned only the breakdown of accident-related and non-accident-related factors and was not decisive.
