- [2014] NZACC 212
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the appellant failed to prove that his PTSD was suffered 'because of' the physical injuries from the 1997 accident (no proximate relationship, absence of head injury, relatively minor/infective laceration with ordinary healing, and significant intervening/previous medical history), therefore no personal injury under s26(1)(c) and ACC's and the Review Officer's decisions are confirmed.
