Claims for medical and rehabilitation benefits dismissed due to discrepancies in the applicant's medical history.
The applicant sought payment for medical and rehabilitation benefits, including psychological assessments, therapy, computer training, and chiropractic treatments, following a 1991 motor vehicle accident.
The arbitrator found significant discrepancies between the applicant's initial medical reports and his later complaints, concluding that the applicant had reconstructed his medical history.
The arbitrator gave little weight to the reports of the applicant's recently retained psychologist and chiropractor because they did not address these discrepancies and did not testify.
The claims for benefits, a special award, and arbitration expenses were dismissed.
The insurer's request for an assessment against the applicant for a frivolous arbitration was also dismissed.
