Questão jurídica principal
Whether the accident remained a natural cause of the knee complaints after 28 February 2005
Decisão extraída
The natural causal link was not shown to persist beyond the period accepted by the insurer; the status quo sine was reached about one month after the accident.
Fundamentação extraída
The court preferred the insurer-appointed expert, whose opinion met the evidentiary requirements and fit the contemporaneous medical records and accident description; later opinions relied on an inaccurate account of the accident and on post hoc reasoning.
