Applicant entitled to IRBs and treatment plans as motor vehicle accident exacerbated pre-existing workplace injuries.
The applicant was involved in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits, including income replacement benefits (IRBs) and treatment plans, which were denied by the respondent.
The applicant had pre-existing injuries from a workplace slip and fall but was improving and expected to return to work prior to the accident.
The adjudicator found that the motor vehicle accident exacerbated her pre-existing conditions, causing a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of her employment.
The adjudicator ordered the respondent to pay IRBs, the disputed chiropractic treatment plan, and the chronic pain assessment, along with interest, but denied the applicant's request for a special award.
