Applicant awarded IRBs for chronic knee pain, but denied ACBs related to pre-existing hip surgery.
The Applicant was struck by a vehicle in a parking lot, sustaining a right knee sprain and psychological injuries.
She also had a pre-existing hip condition that required surgery.
The Tribunal found that the accident did not cause or accelerate the need for hip surgery, but did cause chronic knee pain that prevented her from working.
The Applicant was awarded income replacement benefits, physiotherapy, and psychological treatment.
Claims for attendant care benefits and occupational therapy related to her hip surgery were dismissed, as was her claim for a special award.
