The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including chiropractic treatment, a psychological assessment, a chronic pain assessment, a special award, and interest.

The adjudicator found no jurisdiction over the chiropractic treatment plans as they had already been approved by the respondent and the dispute arose from improper invoicing.

The claim for the remaining cost of a psychological assessment was dismissed because the applicant failed to prove that fees exceeding the guideline rate were reasonable.

However, the adjudicator granted the cost of a chronic pain assessment, finding it necessary to explore the applicant's pain complaints and rejecting the respondent's medical examination report.

The claim for a special award for unreasonable delay was dismissed, but interest was awarded on the approved chronic pain assessment.

The applicant sought various statutory accident benefits and a catastrophic impairment (CAT) designation following a 2016 motor vehicle accident.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that while the accident contributed to the applicant's psychological impairment, the applicant's self-reports were not credible due to significant inconsistencies regarding his pre-accident health and functional status.

The Tribunal concluded the applicant did not suffer a marked impairment in three spheres of functioning and therefore did not meet the CAT threshold.

All claims for income replacement benefits, attendant care, and medical benefits were dismissed as the applicant failed to prove they were reasonable, necessary, or incurred.

The applicant sought non-earner benefits and attendant care benefits following a motor vehicle accident and subsequent knee surgery.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application, finding that the applicant failed to prove a complete inability to carry on a normal life for the claimed period, as contemporaneous medical evidence indicated excellent recovery.

The Tribunal also found that the applicant no longer required attendant care services during the disputed period and failed to prove the expenses were incurred.
