Application for accident benefits dismissed as applicant failed to prove treatments were reasonable and necessary.
The applicant sought various statutory accident benefits, including attendant care, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy, following a 2018 motor vehicle accident.
The adjudicator dismissed the application in its entirety, finding the applicant was a poor historian and failed to meet his onus to prove the expenses were reasonable and necessary or incurred.
The adjudicator preferred the respondent's medical evidence, noting the applicant's significant pre-existing health issues, including severe osteoarthritis that necessitated a knee replacement.
The respondent's request for costs was also denied.
