Applicant entitled to income replacement benefits for first 104 weeks but not beyond; some assistive devices approved.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits from the respondent insurer.
The Tribunal found the applicant was entitled to income replacement benefits for the first 104 weeks post-accident, as she suffered a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of her pre-accident employment as a personal support worker.
However, she was not entitled to income replacement benefits beyond 104 weeks, as she failed to prove a complete inability to engage in any employment for which she was reasonably suited.
The Tribunal also partially approved a treatment plan for assistive devices, but denied other treatment plans for occupational therapy, rehabilitative therapy, and a massage therapy assessment.
The applicant's request for costs was denied.
