Application for accident benefits dismissed as claims were either statute-barred or not proven reasonable and necessary.
The applicant sought various statutory accident benefits following a 2015 motor vehicle accident, including attendant care, chiropractic treatment, medication, and multiple assessments.
The Tribunal found that the claims for attendant care and initial chiropractic treatment were statute-barred by the two-year limitation period, and the applicant failed to establish reasonable grounds for an extension.
For the remaining substantive claims, the Tribunal concluded the applicant had not met her burden to prove the treatments and assessments were reasonable and necessary, preferring the evidence of the respondent's medical examiners who opined the applicant had reached maximum medical recovery.
The application was dismissed.
