The applicant was involved in a motor vehicle accident and applied for statutory accident benefits approximately two years later, well beyond the required timelines.
The respondent denied the benefits due to the delay.
The applicant argued she had a reasonable explanation for the delay, citing psychological impairment and reliance on her former legal counsel.
The Tribunal found that neither explanation was objectively reasonable, noting the applicant's ability to complete other significant tasks during the delay period and her failure to follow up with her counsel.
The application for benefits was dismissed, and the applicant's request for costs was denied.
