Application for statutory accident benefits dismissed as applicant failed to prove impairments warranted claimed benefits.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including non-earner benefits, attendant care benefits, and funding for various treatment plans.
The respondent denied the claims.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to establish a complete inability to carry on a normal life, as medical evidence showed little difference between his pre- and post-accident activities.
The Tribunal also found that attendant care benefits were not reasonable and necessary, preferring the multidisciplinary assessments of the respondent's examiners over the applicant's single nursing assessment.
The treatment plans for physiotherapy and psychological services were denied as the applicant had reached maximal medical recovery and the respondent had properly approved the maximum permitted fees under the Professional Services Guideline.
The application was dismissed in its entirety.
