Application for statutory accident benefits dismissed as applicant failed to prove complete inability to carry on normal life or need for treatment.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including a non-earner benefit, various treatment plans for physiotherapy and psychological services, and medication expenses.
The Tribunal found that the applicant did not suffer a complete inability to carry on a normal life, noting inconsistencies in her self-reporting and evidence of pre-existing conditions.
The Tribunal also found that the proposed treatment plans and medication expenses were not reasonable and necessary as a result of the accident.
The application was dismissed in its entirety, with no interest or award granted.
Application for accident benefits dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the benefits, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and that the MIG limits were exhausted.
The applicant argued her psychological injuries and chronic pain warranted removal from the MIG, and sought non-earner benefits and treatment plans.
The Tribunal found the medical evidence did not support the applicant's claims of chronic pain or psychological impairment, noting her symptoms resolved shortly after the accident.
The Tribunal also found the applicant maintained a substantial amount of her pre-accident activities and did not meet the test for non-earner benefits.
The application was dismissed.
Accident benefits denied as injuries fell within MIG and treatments related to a subsequent accident.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a 2015 motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied treatment plans for chronic pain and psychological assessments, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and that the disputed treatments related to a subsequent 2020 accident.
The Tribunal found the applicant sustained minor injuries in the 2015 accident and failed to prove his impairments fell outside the MIG.
Furthermore, the Tribunal held the applicant did not meet his burden of establishing the disputed treatment plans were for injuries sustained in the 2015 accident rather than the 2020 accident.
The claims for benefits, interest, and a section 10 award were dismissed.
Application for non-earner and medical benefits dismissed; injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming entitlement to a non-earner benefit and medical benefits outside the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant failed to establish a complete inability to carry on a normal life, as medical evidence demonstrated she could independently perform most activities of daily living and had returned to part-time work.
Furthermore, the applicant did not provide sufficient evidence that a pre-existing lumbosacral spine pathology precluded her maximal recovery within the MIG.
The application was dismissed, and the disputed treatment plans were denied as the MIG funding limit was exhausted.
