E.D. v. Aviva General Insurance Company (18-002597)

The claimant sought entitlement to the remainder of a partially approved treatment plan for physical therapy and gym equipment, and a special award. Adjudicator Lake awarded the remainder of the treatment plan, but declined to grant a special award. She held that the proposed treatment was reasonable for pain reduction, increase in strength and range of motion. She also agreed that in-home gym equipment was more reasonable for the claimant, who was a mother of four, rather than attending a local gym.
