Richter v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2016] NZACC 177
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the appellant's labral pathology and resulting need for surgery were caused by a gradual repetitive femoroacetabular impingement process on a background of altered bony morphology and pre-existing symptoms, not by the 2011 mountain bike accident; therefore ACC's decision to decline funding was correct and the appeal is dismissed.
