Application for accident benefits dismissed; hyperbaric oxygen therapy deemed experimental and catastrophic assessments duplicative.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including funding for hyperbaric oxygen therapy and two catastrophic impairment assessments.
The respondent denied the treatment plans.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove the hyperbaric oxygen therapy was reasonable and necessary, noting a lack of medical evidence supporting its effectiveness for her injuries and deeming it experimental.
The Tribunal also denied the catastrophic impairment assessments, finding the applicant failed to justify the need for multiple assessments in single disciplines and the duplication of services across the two treatment plans.
The application was dismissed, and claims for interest and an award were denied.
