- Court
- District Court
Assessments by assessors appointed under the Regulations are not sacrosanct; where persuasive expert evidence demonstrates that an assessor failed to consider relevant impairments or misapplied the AMA Guides (here, failure to account for radiculopathy), the court will revoke the decision based on that assessment and remit the matter for reassessment by another duly appointed assessor.
