Application for attendant care benefits dismissed; no causal link found between accident, premature birth, and GERD.
The applicant, born prematurely two months after her mother was involved in a motor vehicle accident, sought attendant care benefits for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
The applicant argued the accident caused the premature birth, which in turn caused the GERD.
The Tribunal found no evidence connecting the accident to the premature birth or the GERD condition.
The application for attendant care benefits, interest, a special award, and costs was dismissed.
