P.G. v. Intact Insurance Company (18-005386)

The claimant sought entitlement to ongoing IRBs and over $20,000 in assessments related to the IRB claim. Adjudicator Parish held that the claimant was entitled to IRBs up to the 104-week mark, but that the claimant’s functionality did not meet the “complete inability” test. She also awarded the cost of an occupational therapy situational assessment, orthopaedic assessment, and vocational assessment because they were relevant to the claimant’s injuries and claim for IRBs. The proposed psychological assessment, neurological assessment, executive summary, and transportation were not awarded because the claimant had not sought or been referred for psychological or neurological treatment; the executive summary was duplicative of the awarded assessments; and there was no evidence that transportation to the assessments was required.
