Income replacement benefits and most treatment plans denied due to surveillance contradicting self-reported limitations.
The applicant was injured in a rear-end motor vehicle accident and sought income replacement benefits, various treatment plans, and a chronic pain assessment from her insurer.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant did not suffer a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of her pre-accident employment, relying on surveillance evidence that contradicted her self-reported limitations.
The Tribunal approved treatment plans for physiotherapy and massage therapy as reasonable and necessary, but denied plans for drive counselling, a treadmill, and a chronic pain assessment due to insufficient medical evidence and inconsistencies in the applicant's presentation.
Claims for an award for unreasonably delayed payments were also dismissed.
