Application for statutory accident benefits dismissed as applicant failed to prove ongoing impairment.
The applicant, a pedestrian struck by a vehicle, applied for statutory accident benefits including an income replacement benefit (IRB), physiotherapy, massage therapy, and dental services.
The insurer denied the benefits.
The Tribunal found that the applicant did not establish a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of his pre-accident employment, relying on the objective medical evidence of the insurer's physiatrist.
The Tribunal also found the requested physiotherapy and massage therapy were not reasonable and necessary, and the massage therapy was incurred without an approved treatment plan.
The dental claim was withdrawn by the applicant.
The application was dismissed.
