    ACC claims over the festive period are on the rise, with back, ankle and neck sprains the major contributor


    The value of claims to ACC during the festive season has steadily climbed over the past five years to 497 thousand dollars last year.

    Back sprains are the most common type of injury.

    New Year's Day costs ACC the most - more than five and a half thousand dollars worth of claims were lodged for January 1 this year.
