Claim for ongoing accident benefits dismissed due to applicant's lack of credibility and undisclosed prior injuries.
The applicant was injured while standing on a bus that stopped suddenly.
She received weekly income benefits until September 13, 1992, and sought further benefits up to February 28, 1993, along with a special award and expenses.
The arbitrator dismissed the claims, finding the applicant lacked credibility due to significant inconsistencies in her accounts of the accident and her failure to disclose prior injuries to assessing doctors.
The medical reports supporting her claim were deemed unhelpful as they relied on her inaccurate history.
The insurer's termination of benefits was found to be reasonable, and expenses were denied due to the applicant's lack of candour.
