Arbitrator awards partial medical and housekeeping benefits for injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits for medical treatments and housekeeping.
The insurer denied the claims.
The arbitrator found that the applicant suffered injuries outside the WAD II PAF Guideline, specifically radiculopathy, and awarded medical benefits for chiropractic, physiotherapy, and acupuncture treatments.
The arbitrator also awarded partial housekeeping benefits for the initial four weeks post-accident, finding the applicant's evidence of ongoing need unreliable.
The third treatment plan was denied as not reasonable or necessary.
