Applicant awarded ongoing weekly income benefits after 156 weeks due to continuous disability from accident.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and received weekly income benefits for 156 weeks.
The insurer terminated benefits, arguing the applicant was no longer disabled and could return to work.
The applicant applied for arbitration, claiming ongoing disability due to chronic pain, depression, and cognitive difficulties.
The arbitrator found the applicant credible and preferred the medical evidence supporting her disability over the insurer's medical examinations.
The arbitrator concluded that the applicant was continuously prevented from engaging in any occupation for which she was reasonably suited by education, training, or experience.
The applicant was awarded ongoing weekly income benefits and interest on overdue payments.
