Claim for ongoing weekly income benefits dismissed as psychological disability was not caused by accident.
The applicant claimed she was injured when a public transit bus braked sharply.
She received statutory accident benefits until July 1993, when the insurer terminated them.
The applicant sought ongoing weekly income benefits, claiming she was disabled by fibromyalgia and severe psychological problems caused by the accident.
The arbitrator found that while the applicant was involved in an accident and was disabled by psychological problems, she failed to establish on a balance of probabilities that the accident caused her psychological disability.
The claim for ongoing benefits and a special award was dismissed.
