Application for statutory accident benefits dismissed as applicant failed to prove treatments and expenses were reasonable and necessary.
The applicant sought various statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including multiple treatment plans for physiotherapy and psychological services, attendant care benefits, and the cost of an accounting report for income replacement benefits.
The Tribunal dismissed the application in its entirety.
The Tribunal found the applicant failed to prove the treatment plans were reasonable and necessary, noting inconsistencies in self-reported improvement and accepting medical evidence that the applicant required a multi-disciplinary chronic pain program rather than further facility-based physical therapy.
The Tribunal also denied the cost of the accounting report, finding the applicant's income calculation was straightforward and did not require an accountant's expertise.
Claims for attendant care benefits, interest, and a special award were similarly dismissed.
