De Luen v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 180
- Court
- District Court
The Court found the vaginal contusion/prolapse was caused by the acute lifting incident on 29 March 2012 and was not wholly or substantially the result of ageing or a gradual process or decades-old pre-existing conditions; therefore the injury is a personal injury by accident under the Act and coverage (including surgical repair) is confirmed.
