Massima Omnilex

LAA art. 6; natural causation of a popliteal cyst after an accident: a post-traumatic cyst can be regarded as accident-related only if it appears rapidly after the accident, since temporal proximity is a decisive indicator of causation; absent such prompt manifestation, natural causation is not established. The question of joinder of a foreign health insurer may remain open where unnecessary for the outcome.
