The applicant sought various statutory accident benefits following a 2014 motor vehicle accident.
The Tribunal found that the doctrine of res judicata applied to a previous 2020 decision, which determined the applicant suffered only uncomplicated soft tissue injuries and that his shoulder condition was due to natural degeneration and prior trauma.
The applicant failed to establish that his chronic pain and other physical complaints were caused by the accident.
The Tribunal dismissed the claims for attendant care benefits above the agreed amount, as well as claims for physiotherapy, housing assessments, dental services, and assistive devices.
However, because both parties' assessors agreed the applicant met the catastrophic impairment threshold under Criterion 8 (mental/behavioural), the Tribunal awarded $4,400 for the assessments related to that determination.
The claim for a special award for unreasonable delay was dismissed.
