The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motorcycle accident, claiming entitlement to occupational therapy, chiropractic services, and a special award for unreasonable delay.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal denied the occupational therapy claim, preferring the respondent's in-person occupational therapy assessment over the applicant's virtual assessment, finding the applicant had achieved maximal recovery and high functionality.

However, the Tribunal granted the claim for chiropractic services, finding that the temporary pain relief it provided constituted a reasonable and necessary expense, despite the respondent's argument that the relief was not permanent.

The claim for a special award was dismissed as abandoned.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a 2015 motor vehicle accident, including attendant care, housekeeping, and the cost of assessments.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found the applicant entitled to a reduced amount of attendant care benefits ($448.49 per month) for feeding, but denied claims for dressing, shaving, mobility, and other items.

The Tribunal also found the applicant entitled to housekeeping benefits, but only payable from September 2022 due to a lack of accounting for prior incurred expenses.

Claims for assessment costs, a special award, and costs were dismissed.

The Tribunal also dismissed a preliminary motion to state a case for contempt regarding the insurer's surveillance.
