Application for statutory accident benefits dismissed; claims statute-barred or not reasonable and necessary.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including attendant care benefits, income replacement benefits, and various medical and rehabilitation benefits.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant was not entitled to attendant care benefits as they were not reasonable and necessary, nor were they incurred.
The Tribunal held that the applicant was statute-barred from proceeding with her claims for income replacement benefits and a psychological assessment, declining to extend the limitation period under section 7 of the Licence Appeal Tribunal Act due to excessive delay and lack of merit.
The remaining medical and rehabilitation benefits, including bathroom renovations and pool accessories, were denied as not reasonable and necessary for predominantly minor soft tissue injuries.
The application was dismissed.
