Jorgenson v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2015] NZACC 74
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the claimant satisfied the causal link requirement under the continuing cover of the 1982 Act: the treating surgeon's opinion, the history of ongoing instability, medical records and x-ray findings supported that the need for knee replacement was in some degree causally linked to the 1991 covered injury; therefore ACC's decision to decline funding was wrong and is set aside.
