Anderson v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2006] NZACC 63
- Court
- District Court
Medical opinion from multiple specialists established the T4 compression fracture required considerable external force and there was no evidence of underlying bone pathology; absence of a pinpointed event or date does not preclude inferring an accident from the medical and other evidence; therefore on the balance of probabilities the injury was caused by an accident and cover must be granted.
