Attendant care benefits denied because family member provider did not sustain an economic loss.
The applicant was injured in a motorcycle accident and claimed attendant care benefits for services provided by his wife.
The insurer denied payment because the wife, a retired nurse, did not provide the services in the course of her employment and did not sustain an economic loss.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal agreed, finding that the applicant failed to prove an economic loss as required by the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule.
The Tribunal also found the claimed amounts excessive and unsupported by the evidence, and dismissed claims for a special award and interest.
