Application for accident benefits largely dismissed; one chiropractic treatment plan approved for pain reduction.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following two motor vehicle accidents in 2017 and 2019.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove her psychological impairments were caused by the accidents, attributing her symptoms to personal and financial stressors.
Claims for income replacement benefits, attendant care benefits, and most medical benefits were dismissed, as the applicant had returned to work and independent medical examinations showed she did not require the claimed assistance.
The Tribunal granted one treatment plan for chiropractic services related to the 2019 accident, finding it reasonable and necessary for pain reduction.
The claim for a section 10 award was dismissed.
