Attendant care benefits partially granted; claims for orthopedic mattress, medicinal cannabis, and special award dismissed.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including attendant care benefits (ACBs), an orthopedic mattress and pillow, and medicinal cannabis.
The Tribunal found the applicant did not meet her onus for the mattress, pillow, or cannabis, noting a lack of medical evidence and the fact that the mattress was purchased the morning after the accident.
The Tribunal partially granted the ACBs, awarding $537.00 per month based on the applicant's functional limitations with reaching and bending.
However, the Tribunal declined to deem the ACBs incurred under s. 3(8) of the Schedule, finding the insurer's reliance on s. 44 assessments to deny the benefits was not unreasonable.
Claims for a special award were dismissed, but interest was awarded on the payable ACBs.
Application for statutory accident benefits dismissed as treatment plans were not reasonable and necessary.
The applicant, a minor, was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits for physiotherapy and occupational therapy treatment plans.
The respondent insurer denied the plans.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove the treatment plans were reasonable and necessary, as medical evidence indicated his accident-related injuries had resolved and he had returned to his activities of daily living.
The application was dismissed.
