The applicant sought statutory accident benefits after slipping and falling on slush in a parking lot while walking towards her parked car to clear snow off the side view mirror.
The respondent denied benefits, arguing the incident was not an 'accident' under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal held a preliminary issue hearing and found that the applicant failed both the purpose and causation tests.
The Tribunal concluded that the use of the vehicle had ended prior to the fall, and the slush on the ground was an intervening cause.
The application was dismissed.
