- Court
- District Court
The Court preferred the treating surgeon's evidence that the DRUJ ligament tear was caused by traumatic force in the 29 April 2011 accident and, on the balance of probabilities, held that the portion of the surgery treating the DRUJ injury was for a covered personal injury and must be paid by ACC; components addressing pre-existing TFCC pathology are not payable.
