Applicant awarded cost of anti-fatigue mat but denied other statutory accident benefits due to insufficient evidence.
The applicant was struck by a minivan while crossing the street and sought statutory accident benefits, including non-earner benefits, attendant care, housekeeping, and medical benefits for assistive devices.
The Tribunal dismissed the claims for non-earner and attendant care benefits, finding the applicant failed to provide sufficient evidence of her pre- and post-accident activities or that attendant care expenses were incurred.
The claim for a mattress topper was statute-barred as it was purchased before a treatment plan was submitted.
However, the Tribunal found the anti-fatigue mat was reasonable and necessary, and ordered the respondent to pay for it.
