Questão jurídica principal
Whether the insurer could terminate temporary accident benefits as of 2005-02-01 because no further meaningful improvement was expected.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The court held that by 2005-01-31 the treatment result was definitive and no meaningful improvement from further treatment could still be expected.
Fundamentação extraída
The medical file showed pre-existing degenerative spinal changes and only limited treatment success. The court found the insurer’s status-quo-sine assessment insufficiently reasoned, but still concluded that continuing treatment after 2005-02-01 would not have produced a significant health improvement under Art. 19(1) UVG.
