Occupational therapy plan partially approved for injured cyclist; chiropractic plan and special award denied.
The applicant, a cyclist intentionally struck by a vehicle, sought statutory accident benefits for occupational therapy and chiropractic services, as well as a special award for unreasonable delay.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal partially approved the occupational therapy plan, finding it reasonable and necessary based on a contemporaneous psychiatric report diagnosing severe PTSD and depression.
The chiropractic plan was denied due to a lack of corroborating contemporaneous medical evidence.
The claim for a special award was dismissed as the insurer's denial was not found to be unreasonable.
