The appellant appealed the dismissal of her action for a declaration of entitlement to statutory accident benefits.
She claimed the motor vehicle accident caused or contributed to her rheumatoid arthritis.
The trial judge found the accident was relatively minor and that the expert evidence did not establish it was more probable than not that the accident caused or triggered the onset of the arthritis.
The Court of Appeal found no error in the trial judge's approach to causation or assessment of the evidence and dismissed the appeal.
