Application for medical and rehabilitation benefits dismissed as treatments were not reasonable, necessary, or accident-related.
The applicant sought various medical and rehabilitation benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including physical therapy, online classes, optometric vision therapy, reading glasses, and moving expenses.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed all claims, finding that the applicant failed to prove the treatments were reasonable and necessary or causally linked to the accident.
Specifically, the Tribunal preferred the respondent's expert evidence regarding the vision therapy and found the moving expenses were not payable under the Schedule as the decision to move predated the accident.
