Slip and fall on ice while walking toward vehicle to retrieve groceries is not an accident.
The applicants sought statutory accident benefits after the applicant wife slipped and fell on ice in a parking garage while walking toward her vehicle to retrieve groceries.
The respondent insurer denied the claims on the basis that the incident was not an 'accident' under the Schedule.
The Tribunal found that the incident did not meet the causation test, as the vehicle was not the dominant feature and the injuries were caused by the icy conditions of the parking garage, which constituted an intervening act.
The applications were dismissed.
