- Court
- District Court
The appeal was dismissed because the appellant failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that she sustained a physical injury or a mental injury consequent on a physical injury caused by medical error or mishap; specialist and imaging evidence showed no causal link between Ativan prescription or the cyst excision and her symptoms, and dependency without physiological evidence does not constitute a compensable physical injury under the Act.
