The applicant sought interim accident benefits, including non-earner benefits, attendant care benefits, and medical/assessment benefits, following a motor vehicle accident.
The insurer denied the benefits.
The arbitrator found that the applicant had significant pre-existing physical and psychological conditions that were not proven to be exacerbated by the accident.
The arbitrator concluded that the applicant failed to demonstrate a compelling need or urgency for interim benefits, as he continued to receive medical treatment and had some assistance for his day-to-day needs.
The motion for interim benefits was dismissed.
