Ms. Tracie Shaw

The applicant sought a determination that she sustained a catastrophic impairment under criterion 8 of the SABS following a motor vehicle accident.

The dispute centered on whether she had marked impairments in Activities of Daily Living and Concentration, Persistence, and Pace.

The Tribunal found that while the applicant suffered moderate impairments, she retained significant useful functioning, such as driving, caring for her autistic son, and attending the gym regularly.

The Tribunal concluded the applicant did not suffer a catastrophic impairment and dismissed the claims for an award and interest.

The applicant was involved in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits.

The Tribunal found the applicant sustained a catastrophic impairment due to marked impairments in activities of daily living, concentration, persistence and pace, and adaptation.

The Tribunal approved three treatment plans for Botox injections, an attendant care assessment, and psychotherapy/social worker counselling, but denied thirteen other plans.

Claims for a special award and costs were dismissed, but interest was awarded on overdue benefits.
