Tribunal awards medical benefits and vocational assessment costs, finding injuries were caused by the accident.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought medical and rehabilitation benefits, as well as the cost of a vocational assessment, from her auto insurer.
The insurer denied the claims, arguing the injuries were uncomplicated soft tissue injuries and not related to the accident.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the objective medical evidence, including CT and MRI scans, established that the applicant suffered from disc herniation and radiculopathy caused by the accident.
The Tribunal concluded that the requested physiotherapy, chiropractic, psychological services, and vocational assessment were reasonable and necessary.
The applicant was awarded the claimed benefits with interest, and no costs were awarded to either party.
