Application for accident benefits dismissed; medical marijuana contraindicated and PRP therapy deemed experimental.
The applicant sought various medical and rehabilitation benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including natural supplements, medical marijuana, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, physiotherapy, psychological services, and a visual assessment.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application in its entirety.
The Tribunal found that medical marijuana was contraindicated due to the applicant's pre-existing conditions, and that PRP therapy was experimental and thus excluded under s. 15(2)(a) of the Schedule.
Relying on independent medical examinations, the Tribunal concluded that the remaining physical and psychological treatment plans were not reasonable and necessary.
