Dellow v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 132
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the Court preferred the specialist surgeon Mr Mason's opinion that a rupture or traumatic injury to the left inguinal region probably occurred as a result of the workplace accident on 9 May 2012, and that the delay in presentation did not conclusively preclude causation; accordingly ACC must provide personal injury cover for the left hernia.
