Questão jurídica principal
Whether the insurer had to continue benefits beyond 2010-06-10 for the left knee injury
Decisão extraída
The insurer was entitled to end further benefits because the accident-related medial collateral ligament injury had healed and later knee problems were not shown to be probably caused by the accident.
Fundamentação extraída
The court relied on the independent expert opinion, which found the initial ligament strain healed by about 10 months and identified the later meniscal/cartilage degeneration as pre-existing or degenerative rather than traumatic.
