Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the insurer must cover post-2002 medical treatment for lumbar pain, left-knee meniscal lesion, and left-leg muscle hypotrophy as accident sequelae or relapse.
Decisione estratta
No; the required natural causal link was not established with sufficient probability, so accident-insurance medical benefits were denied.
Motivazione estratta
The knee lesion appeared only fourteen years after the accident and causation was merely possible, not probable. The muscle hypotrophy was not markedly present in the first years after the accident, and the lumbar complaints were partly degenerative and partly linked to that hypotrophy, so they also lacked probable causal connection.
