Applicant awarded post-104 week income replacement benefits and medical benefits for ongoing post-concussion symptoms.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought various medical and rehabilitation benefits, as well as post-104 week income replacement benefits (IRB), which the respondent insurer denied.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant likely suffered a concussion and continued to experience dizziness, cognitive impairments, and psychological difficulties.
The Tribunal determined that the proposed treatment plans for occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and speech language therapy were reasonable and necessary, with the exception of a weighted vest.
Furthermore, the Tribunal concluded that the applicant met the test for post-104 week IRB, as her ongoing impairments rendered her completely unable to engage in any employment for which she was reasonably suited.
The respondent was ordered to pay the disputed benefits and interest.
