Thomas R Hughes

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

The respondent initially denied claims based on the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and a lack of supporting medical documentation, but later removed the applicant from the MIG and approved outstanding treatment plans prior to a case conference.

The only remaining issues were the applicant's entitlement to interest and a special award under s. 10 of Regulation 664 for unreasonable delay.

The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove the respondent's conduct was unreasonable, noting that the applicant's noncompliance with s. 33 requests for legible medical records frustrated the adjustment process.

The application for an award and interest was dismissed.

The applicant sought payment for two physiotherapy treatment plans and an award for unreasonable delay following a motor vehicle accident.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the first treatment plan for $3,609.60 had already been paid in full by the insurer.

For the second treatment plan of $425.73, the Tribunal held it would be payable once the applicant submitted an invoice, which had not yet occurred.

The claim for an award under section 10 of Regulation 664 was dismissed as there was no evidence the insurer unreasonably withheld or delayed payment.
