Application for medical and rehabilitation benefits dismissed as applicant failed to prove treatments were reasonable and necessary.
The applicant, who was catastrophically impaired following a 2014 motor vehicle accident, sought payment for massage therapy, chiropractic services, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application, finding the applicant failed to meet the burden of proving the treatments were reasonable and necessary.
The Tribunal accepted the respondent's section 44 physiatry report, which concluded that further facility-based treatment was not warranted six years post-accident without evidence of improvement.
Claims for an award, interest, and costs were also dismissed.
