Resumo Omnilex

The decision sends the file back to CNA for additional medical investigation. The court held that the record was insufficient to decide whether the insured person's hip, back, and shoulder complaints were in a natural causal relationship with the accident. A new factual assessment was therefore required before any final determination under accident insurance.

Sumário Omnilex

Art. 6 LAA; natural causation in accident insurance proceedings; where the medical record does not permit a reliable assessment of whether reported complaints are causally linked to an accident, the competent authority must complete the evidentiary record before deciding the claim. A remand is warranted when the decisive medical question remains unresolved and the file is not sufficiently documented to support a final ruling on coverage (consid. not available).
