Darey v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2013] NZACC 355
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the District Court preferred the treating surgeon's evidence that the 26 November 2009 fracture and the force of the fall materially contributed to deterioration of the left hip causing need for total hip replacement, and that the condition was not wholly or substantially caused by a gradual process or ageing, therefore the appeal was allowed and ACC's declination overturned.
