ATA/543/1998•Natural causal link to accident not established
ATA/543/1998Corte di giustizia / Camera amministrativa1 set 1998Dismissed
Estratto da Omnilex
In this accident-insurance matter, the court held that the insured person had not proven a natural causal link between the accident and the health complaints. The expert evidence went no further than stating that such a link was possible. On that basis, entitlement to benefits under the Accident Insurance Act was denied.
Art. 6 LAA; natural causal link between accident and health impairment must be established with sufficient probability. A merely possible causal connection, even if mentioned by experts, is not enough to found entitlement to accident-insurance benefits. Where the evidence remains at the level of a possibility, the claim fails for lack of proof of causation.

Whether the insured person proved a natural causal link between the accident and the complained-of condition.
No. The experts only admitted that such a link was possible, which was insufficient to establish natural causation.
A merely possible causal link does not meet the proof required for entitlement under accident insurance.
