Estate of R Bindon v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 289
- Court
- District Court
Under AMA4 and the ACC User Handbook impairment is assessed by reference to the claimant's condition at the time of assessment; terminal prognosis does not itself increase impairment and there was no evidence Mr Bindon was terminal at the assessment date, therefore Dr Fenton's assessment was not flawed; correct WPI is 67% after calculation correction.
