Jans v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 80
- Court
- District Court
Although Leflunomide caused headaches and paraesthesia, those symptoms do not amount to a 'personal injury' under the Accident Compensation Act 2001; hypertension was pre-existing; chest pain was attributable to gastric reflux; there was no evidence of poisoning; accordingly the treatment injury claim fails and the appeal is dismissed.
