The applicant sought various statutory accident benefits following a 2015 motor vehicle accident, including attendant care benefits, occupational therapy assessments, and a concussion assessment.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal denied the claims for attendant care and occupational therapy, finding the applicant had returned to full-time work and was independent in his activities of daily living.

However, the Tribunal granted the request for a concussion assessment, noting the applicant's ongoing headache and balance issues warranted further investigation, and preferred the evidence of concussion experts over the insurer's physiatrist.

The claim for a special award under O. Reg. 664 was dismissed as the insurer reasonably relied on its assessors' reports.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident in August 2015.

She claimed entitlement to medical benefits for occupational therapy assessments, a concussion assessment, assistive devices, and retroactive attendant care benefits.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed all claims, finding that the applicant failed to demonstrate the treatment plans were reasonable and necessary.

The Tribunal preferred the respondent's expert evidence, noting the significant passage of time since the accident and the applicant's self-reported independence with activities of daily living.

The claims for retroactive attendant care benefits were denied as the applicant did not provide a reasonable explanation for the delay in submitting the required forms, nor did she prove the expenses were incurred.

Claims for interest and a special award were consequently dismissed.
