S.S. v. Aviva Insurance Canada (17-007853)

The claimant sought entitlement to three medical benefits for physical therapy. Adjudicator Helt concluded that the proposed treatment was not reasonable and necessary. She concluded that the claimant’s physical complaints pre-dated the accident, and that the evidence did not support the need for treatment in relation to the accident. The medical evidence also failed to address how the accident may have aggravated the claimant’s pre-existing conditions.
