Accident benefits denied; physical impairments attributed to subsequent slip and fall and second accident.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
He subsequently had a slip and fall and a second motor vehicle accident.
The Tribunal found that the applicant's psychological impairments were caused by the first accident, but he failed to prove that his physical impairments were caused by the first accident, as they were likely caused by the subsequent slip and fall or second accident.
The Tribunal dismissed the claims for physical treatment plans due to lack of causation.
The claims for psychological treatment and assessments were also dismissed because the applicant failed to prove they were reasonable and necessary, or failed to comply with the signature requirements under s. 38(3) of the Schedule.
