Gable v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2003] NZACC 212
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the appellant failed to prove that any post traumatic stress disorder he suffers is an outcome of the physical injuries sustained in the 20 September 1995 assault because the causal link is undermined by significant pre-existing and subsequent stressors, inconsistent and late disclosure of key facts (the gun/holster incident), and conflicting medical opinions; therefore the appeal is dismissed.
