Raptis v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2016] NZACC 216
- Court
- District Court
The Court accepted the Clinical Advisory Panel's analysis that the labral tear and arthroscopic findings were most consistent with longstanding mixed cam and pincer femoroacetabular impingement and degenerative change present before and after 2008, and that the alleged 2008 accidents did not provide a mechanism consistent with an acute traumatic tear; therefore the need for surgery was not caused by a covered injury and ACC's decline to fund was upheld.
