A B.C. crash victim who was rear-ended by a driver has won money to help pay for traditional Chinese medicine treatments 香蕉视频直播� but not as much as they were seeking.

The B.C. Civil Resolution Tribunal has ordered Hei Man Fong to pay $4,419.93 to Yoko Wong in damages after a February 2020 car crash, according to a recently published decision.

Wong was a passenger in a vehicle rear-ended by Fong, said the decision, and Wong had to pay out-of-pocket for TCM treatments. Wong was seeking $60,000 for the past TCM treatments, past and future massage therapy treatments, future TCM treatments, plus money generally to cover ongoing treatments.

香蕉视频直播淭he respondent says Ms. Wong has been reimbursed for her TCM expenses, is not entitled to reimbursement for the massage therapy treatments, and that she has not proven any entitlement to future care costs,香蕉视频直播� said the decision.

香蕉视频直播淭he respondent was undisputedly responsible for the accident. As a result of the accident, Ms. Wong says she suffered injuries to her chest, neck, shoulder, back, head, and left ear,香蕉视频直播� said the decision.

Wong had already paid for 49 treatments.

Wong had also requested a two-year pause in the dispute to allow 香蕉视频直播渇urther medical investigations香蕉视频直播� or $50,000 in damages, said the decision.

The CRT decision disagreed on a delay.

香蕉视频直播淚 find pausing this dispute at this late stage, after the parties have provided all their evidence and submissions, would be inconsistent with the CRT香蕉视频直播檚 mandate to provide accessible, speedy, economical, informal, and flexible dispute-resolution processes,香蕉视频直播� reads the decision. 香蕉视频直播淔urther, I note Ms. Wong香蕉视频直播檚 claim for entitlement to accident benefits from ICBC is a separate and distinct issue. Nothing in this decision precludes Ms. Wong from requesting accident benefits from ICBC, or bringing a future claim against ICBC at the CRT if ICBC denies any requested benefits.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淚n order to receive an award for future care costs, Ms. Wong must establish what costs are reasonably necessary, and must provide medical evidence to support her claim,香蕉视频直播� said the decision. 香蕉视频直播淚 find Ms. Wong has not proven she is entitled to any award for future care costs. I dismiss this aspect of her claim. However, as noted above, nothing in this decision precludes Ms. Wong from requesting accident benefits from ICBC as needed.香蕉视频直播�

In the end, Wong won roughly the amount to cover treatments already paid for.
