Application for accident benefits dismissed as applicant fully recovered and engaged in learned helplessness.
The applicant sought various statutory accident benefits after being struck by a detached tire while walking.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application in its entirety, finding that the applicant had fully recovered from his physical injuries and was engaging in 'learned helplessness'.
The Tribunal denied claims for attendant care, assistive devices, occupational therapy, and chiropractic treatments, noting inconsistencies in the applicant's expert evidence and exaggerated assessment fees.
The claim for non-earner benefits was dismissed as time-barred and substantively unproven.
Claims for a special award and interest were also dismissed.
