Physiotherapy treatment plan approved for catastrophically impaired pedestrian over insurer's expert opinions.
The applicant, who suffered catastrophic injuries as a pedestrian in a motor vehicle accident, sought a medical benefit for a physiotherapy treatment plan.
The respondent insurer denied the plan, relying on its expert assessors who opined that home-directed exercises were sufficient and that the applicant's neurological impairment was fixed.
The Tribunal preferred the evidence of the applicant's treating multidisciplinary team, finding the professionally directed physiotherapy reasonable and necessary to manage and prevent regression of the applicant's conditions.
The treatment plan was approved with interest.
