Claim for ongoing weekly income benefits dismissed; applicant found able to perform pre-accident employment.
The Applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident when struck as a pedestrian.
She received weekly income benefits until July 27, 1993, and subsequently applied for arbitration claiming ongoing entitlement and payment for a medical report.
The arbitrator found that the Applicant was substantially able to perform the essential tasks of her pre-accident job as an industrial sewing machine operator, preferring the evidence of orthopaedic surgeons over her pain management physician.
The claim for the medical report was also dismissed as it was deemed a medicolegal report rather than a certificate under the Schedule.
The Applicant was awarded her arbitration expenses.
