Application for accident benefits dismissed as treatment plans and assessments were not proven reasonable and necessary.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming entitlement to psychological treatment, physiotherapy treatment, a chronic pain assessment, and a driving reintegration assessment.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application, finding that the applicant failed to prove on a balance of probabilities that the disputed treatment plans and assessments were reasonable and necessary.
The Tribunal gave little to no weight to the applicant's expert reports, noting they were completed years after the accident and were inconsistent with the clinical notes and records of the applicant's family physicians, which showed minimal complaints and primarily degenerative changes.
