The claimant was involved in a serious accident in which his daughter was fatally injured. The claimant was deemed to have sustained a catastrophic impairment. The claimant sought entitlement to occupational therapy assistance. The insurer denied the treatment plan and stated there was no rehabilitative goal of consuming the treatment. On review of the medical evidence, Adjudicator Mather concluded the treatment plan was reasonable and necessary and awarded the benefit. The claimant sought costs and asked that a negative inference be drawn of the insurer’s behaviour due to its refusal to produce log notes. Costs were denied and no inference was made regarding the non-production of log notes, since the notes were considered not relevant to the issues in dispute.
