Jones v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 288
- Court
- District Court
The Judge preferred the comprehensive contemporaneous and imaging-based analysis of Mr Fong and the review by Mr Taine over Mr Johnson's opinion, finding the medical evidence established chronic degenerative rotator cuff tendinopathy with progression to a full-thickness tear rather than a tear caused by an acute traumatic event; therefore the injury was not caused by an accident and the appeal was dismissed.
