The applicant sought a determination that she sustained a catastrophic impairment as a result of a 2016 motor vehicle accident under Criteria 6, 7, and 8 of the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule.
The Tribunal reviewed multidisciplinary assessments from both parties.
For Criterion 6 (physical), the Tribunal found a 36% whole person impairment, preferring the respondent's assessors on headaches and neurocognitive issues but the applicant's assessor on extremity impairments.
For Criterion 7 (combined physical and mental), the Tribunal added a 10% mental impairment rating based on the respondent's psychiatrist, resulting in a 42% combined impairment, falling short of the 55% threshold.
For Criterion 8 (mental/behavioural domains), the Tribunal found moderate impairments across all domains, rejecting the applicant's claims of marked or extreme impairments.
The application was dismissed.
