M.P. v. Aviva General Insurance Canada (18-006624)

The claimant initially sought entitlement to various medical benefits and IRBs. The insurer approved the benefits before the hearing. The claimant still sought a special award. Adjudicator Fricot held that a special award of $1,500 was payable. She reasoned that once an IE confirming that the claimant’s injuries fell outside the MIG had been received, the insurer should have reconsidered its denial of an OT assessment, OT services, a psychological assessment, and chiropractic services.
