Psychological treatment plan approved for pedestrian struck by vehicle; attendant care and assistive devices denied.
The applicant, a pedestrian struck by a vehicle, sought statutory accident benefits for attendant care, assistive devices, and psychological and physiological treatment.
The insurer denied the claims.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant was entitled to the psychological treatment plan, as the evidence demonstrated that his pre-existing psychological issues were exacerbated by the accident.
However, the claims for attendant care and assistive devices were dismissed because the applicant failed to prove they were reasonable and necessary, and failed to provide evidence that the expenses were incurred.
A claim for a special award was also dismissed, as the insurer's denials were not improper.
