Application for accident benefits dismissed; applicant failed to prove dental injury causation and higher psychotherapist rates.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, specifically claiming entitlement to dental services and psychological services.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application.
The Tribunal found the applicant failed to prove on a balance of probabilities that his dental issues were caused by the accident, preferring the respondent's dental assessment over the applicant's dental surgeon's letter.
The Tribunal also denied the unapproved portion of a treatment plan for psychological services, finding the respondent's approved hourly rate of $100 for a psychotherapist was reasonable and the applicant failed to justify a higher rate or the necessity of additional administrative fees.
Claims for an award and interest were consequently dismissed.
