Application for statutory accident benefits dismissed due to insufficient medical evidence supporting the disputed treatment plans.
The applicant sought entitlement to statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, specifically claiming costs for physiotherapy, psychological services, and a multi-disciplinary catastrophic impairment assessment.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application, finding that the applicant failed to provide sufficient medical evidence or submissions to prove the treatment plans were reasonable and necessary.
The Tribunal preferred the respondent's psychological assessment, which concluded the applicant had reached maximum recovery, over the applicant's evidence.
Claims for interest and an award for unreasonable delay were also dismissed.
