Question juridique clé
Whether the accident was naturally and adequately causal for the claimed psychophysical complaints and psychiatric disorder
Solution extraite
Adequate causation for the psychical disorder was denied; the accident was a medium-severity event but not in the borderline-to-serious range, and the relevant criteria were not sufficiently met.
Motifs extraits
The accident was impressive but lacked the exceptional intensity needed. Only one criterion, at most, was present and not in particularly pronounced form. The psychogenic pain and adjustment disorder therefore remained outside SUVA's liability.
