Vujcich v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2012] NZACC 401
- Court
- District Court
No formal claim was lodged that would trigger a deemed decision; medical evidence on balance established that the claimant's right shoulder/neck problems were substantially due to pre-existing degenerative pathology disclosed by the accident rather than caused by it; the VIMA properly considered shoulder limitations and the vocational independence determination of 11 July 2008 was reasonable and supported by evidence; appeal dismissed.
