G.R. v. Aviva Insurance Canada (17-001146)

The claimant sought entitlement to a number of medical treatment plans. On review of the medical evidence, Adjudicator Chris Sewrattan determined that the claimant suffered from both physical and psychological impairments, and that a choice was available with respect to the modality of treatment to reduce pain. Pain relief and increasing strength were considered reasonable and necessary goals of the treatment. The treatment plans aimed at achieving these goals were awarded with interest in accordance with section 51.
