ATA/626/1998•Natural causation denied for neck complaints after accident
ATA/626/1998Tribunal de Justiça / Câmara Administrativa6 de out. de 1998Dismissed
Extraído pela Omnilex
In an accident-insurance dispute, the court held that the claimant had not shown a natural causal link between the accident and the complained-of neck troubles. The insurer's denial of benefits therefore stood. The case turns on the evidentiary requirements for proving accident causation under accident insurance law.
LAA art. 6; causalité naturelle en assurance-accidents: les prestations ne sont dues que si, au degré de la vraisemblance prépondérante, l'événement assuré apparaît comme la cause naturelle des troubles annoncés. L'existence d'une atteinte cervicale alléguée ne suffit pas; en l'absence d'indices médicaux concluants établissant un lien causal entre l'accident et les plaintes, la causalité naturelle doit être niée (consid. null).
