Taylor v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2007] NZACC 143
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the appellant failed to establish that his incapacitating psychiatric condition from 1997 onwards was caused by the 1988 head injury; the Court preferred the respondent's expert analysis of extensive pre-accident psychiatric and behavioural history and absence of objective post-concussion cognitive deficits, and therefore upheld the respondent's decision declining weekly compensation.
