Morgan v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2003] NZACC 218
- Court
- District Court
The appellant failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that she suffered a physical injury caused by medical misadventure; medical records and independent advice show treatment was for a chronic anxiety disorder, symptoms predated and overlapped with alleged withdrawal, and there is no reliable evidence of a physiological basis or causation linking the prescriptions to a brain injury; accordingly the review decision declining cover is upheld.
