The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.

The insurer denied claims for medical and rehabilitation benefits, housekeeping benefits, and assessment costs.

The arbitrator dismissed the applicant's claims, finding her evidence regarding the necessity of treatments and assessments lacked credibility and was contradicted by independent DAC assessments.

The arbitrator also ordered the applicant to repay the insurer for a missed DAC appointment, rejecting her explanation that she did not open her mail.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits, including caregiver, housekeeping, and medical benefits, following a motor vehicle accident.

The insurer denied the claims, arguing the applicant's injuries, particularly to her wrist, were pre-existing from a prior accident.

The arbitrator dismissed the applicant's claims, finding insufficient evidence that the second accident caused or exacerbated her wrist problems, and preferring the independent medical assessments which concluded she was not disabled from caregiving or housekeeping.

The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits, including income replacement, medical, and housekeeping benefits, which the insurer denied.

The arbitrator found that the applicant suffered from accident-related depression that substantially disabled her from performing the essential tasks of her employment and housekeeping for a limited period.

The applicant was awarded income replacement and housekeeping benefits for the period from March to June 2005, along with interest.

Claims for ongoing income replacement, further medical benefits, examination expenses, and a special award were dismissed.
