Tribunal awards partial accident benefits and a 10 per cent special award for unreasonable delay.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including attendant care benefits and various treatment plans.
The respondent denied the benefits, arguing that an intervening accident broke the chain of causation and relying on its own independent medical examinations.
The Tribunal found that the subject accident was a necessary cause of the applicant's physical injuries, but not her psychological complaints.
The Tribunal awarded partial attendant care benefits for meal preparation and laundry assistance, and approved several treatment plans including occupational therapy, a cognitive assessment, and vestibular physiotherapy.
The Tribunal also ordered a 10 per cent special award against the respondent for unreasonably maintaining the applicant in the Minor Injury Guideline despite knowing she had sustained a concussion.
