Question juridique clé
Whether the post-March 2006 knee complaints were still causally related to the August 2001 accident.
Solution extraite
A natural causal link was not proven with the required probability; the insurer owed no further benefits.
Motifs extraits
The MRI shortly after the accident showed no clear meniscus rupture, the initial clinical course improved, and the later arthroscopy occurred too late to prove the tear was accident-related. The court preferred the well-reasoned expert opinion that a degenerative cause was more likely.
