The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a December 2020 motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied several treatment plans and attendant care benefits, arguing that the applicant's impairments were due to pre-existing conditions and subsequent falls.
The Tribunal applied the 'but for' test and found the accident was a necessary cause of the applicant's worsened physical and psychological impairments.
The Tribunal ordered the respondent to pay for assistive devices and an occupational therapy assessment, finding them reasonable and necessary.
The Tribunal also awarded attendant care benefits up to $3,000 per month, pending proof of incurred expenses.
Claims for a catastrophic impairment assessment and foreign hospital expenses were dismissed for lack of evidence.
