Insured awarded closed-period attendant care benefits and optometric services following severe motor vehicle accident.
The applicant was injured in a severe motor vehicle accident and sought various statutory accident benefits, including attendant care benefits (ACB) and medical expenses, which the respondent insurer denied.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found the applicant was entitled to ACB at the non-catastrophic maximum of $3,000 per month for a closed period, deeming the expenses incurred because the insurer unreasonably withheld payment during that time.
The Tribunal also approved a treatment plan for optometric services to investigate ongoing vision impairments and awarded partial reimbursement for prescription medications, an ambulance bill, and replacement glasses submitted on various OCF-6 forms.
Claims for an award under s. 10 of Regulation 664 were dismissed, but interest was awarded on all overdue benefits.
