The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal considered entitlement to multiple treatment plans for psychological, optometric, dietary, and physical rehabilitation services.

The Tribunal granted the plans for optometric services and a dietary assessment, finding them reasonable and necessary based on the medical evidence and the applicant's positive response to vision therapy.

The Tribunal denied the remaining plans, including psychological and physical therapy, finding that the applicant either failed to prove they were reasonable and necessary, failed to exhaust collateral benefits, or incurred expenses prior to submitting a plan.

The claim for a special award was dismissed, but interest was awarded on overdue benefits.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, disputing the respondent's denial of multiple treatment and assessment plans, medication expenses, and parking costs.

The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove on a balance of probabilities that the proposed in-home, attendant care, neurological, concussion, chiropractic, physiotherapy, and psychological plans were reasonable and necessary, preferring the objective findings of the respondent's assessors over the subjective reporting relied upon by the applicant's assessors.

The Tribunal awarded the cost of one prescription medication and interest on overdue payments, but denied the remaining expenses and the claim for a special award under s. 10 of Reg. 664.

The applicant was involved in a motor vehicle accident and sought accident benefits beyond the $3,500 Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) limit, claiming physical, psychological, and chronic pain impairments.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide compelling medical evidence to warrant removal from the MIG.

The medical records were sparse, there was no formal psychological diagnosis, and the evidence did not support a finding of chronic pain with functional impairment.

The application was dismissed, and the disputed treatment plans and interest were denied.
