Carson v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 291
- Court
- District Court
No substantive evidence linked the enamel infractions to the 6 August 2009 accident: dentist's reports were equivocal, there was no contemporaneous record of infraction at treatment seven weeks after the accident, the three year delay undermined causation, and expert evidence showed likely non-accident causes; therefore ACC correctly declined cover and the appeal is dismissed.
