Application for accident benefits dismissed as impairments were pre-existing or unrelated to the motor vehicle accident.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including income replacement benefits, medical benefits for PRP therapy, and attendant care benefits.
The Tribunal found that the applicant's physical impairments, specifically severe osteoarthritis in his hips, and his psychological impairments were not caused by the accident but were pre-existing or related to his termination from employment.
The Tribunal preferred the evidence of the respondent's insurer examination assessors over the applicant's experts, noting the applicant's lack of credibility and his experts' failure to review pre-accident medical records.
The application was dismissed in its entirety.
