D.T. v. Wawanesa Mutual Insurance Company (18-005613)

The claimant sought entitlement to IRBs, the MIG, and various medical benefits. The insurer argued that the claimant’s entitlement to IRBs had already been decided and was res judicata. The Tribunal had already adjudicated an application for IRBs (among other things), which was upheld on reconsideration and at the Divisional Court. There was no new evidence to support that the claimant had additional injuries or conditions. The new medicolegal reports the claimant obtained could have been obtained prior to the first hearing.
