The applicant sought entitlement to statutory accident benefits for chiropractic and psychological services following a motor vehicle accident.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application, finding the applicant failed to prove the treatment plans were reasonable and necessary.

The Tribunal relied on an insurer's orthopaedic assessment to deny the chiropractic plan and found the applicant did not justify paying a psychotherapist at a psychologist's hourly rate for the psychological services.

Claims for interest and a special award were also dismissed.

The applicant sought entitlement to statutory accident benefits for physical rehabilitation, an orthopaedic assessment, and a social work assessment following a motor vehicle accident.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application, finding that the applicant failed to provide sufficient medical evidence to prove the treatment plans were reasonable and necessary.

The Tribunal relied on the respondent's insurer examination reports, which concluded the applicant had sustained minor injuries, had benefited from prior treatment, and had successfully returned to his pre-accident employment and daily activities.

The applicant sought income replacement benefits (IRB) and approval for two treatment plans (interpretation services and an orthopaedic assessment) following a motor vehicle accident.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application, finding that the applicant failed to prove she suffered a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of her pre-accident employment as a customer service clerk.

The Tribunal also found the proposed treatment plans were not reasonable and necessary, as the applicant could communicate adequately in English and her injuries were uncomplicated soft tissue strains that did not warrant an orthopaedic assessment.

Claims for interest and a special award were consequently dismissed.
