Question juridique clé
Whether the insured's continuing complaints after 2004-07-01 remained adequately causally related to the accident
Solution extraite
Adequate causation must be assessed under the case law on psychogenic sequelae after pre-existing psychological problems; it is denied here.
Motifs extraits
The court found that the psychische Beschwerden predated the accident and were only worsened by it; the post-accident picture was not a typical, tightly interwoven whiplash syndrome. None of the required criteria were met in a particularly striking way, and the accident was not legally decisive for the ongoing incapacity.
