The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits for a concussion assessment and a physiotherapy treatment program.

The respondent insurer denied the benefits based on an insurer's examination report.

The Tribunal found the applicant's medical evidence, including assessments from a psychologist, a chronic pain physician, and a concussion management physiotherapist, outweighed the respondent's general practitioner report, which lacked specific concussion testing.

The Tribunal ordered the respondent to pay for the disputed treatment plans and interest on overdue payments.

However, the Tribunal dismissed the applicant's claim for a special award, finding the respondent's reliance on its medical reports was not unreasonable or arbitrary.
