Appeal of arbitration order dismissing claim for ongoing accident benefits dismissed; arbitrator's findings supported by evidence.
The appellant was injured while travelling as a passenger on a bus and received statutory accident benefits until they were terminated by the insurer.
At arbitration, it was determined that the appellant did not suffer a substantial inability to perform his essential tasks after the termination date.
The appellant appealed, arguing the arbitrator failed to accord appropriate weight to medical reports and misapplied the law.
The Director of Arbitrations dismissed the appeal, finding that the arbitrator's factual conclusions were supported by the evidence and that she correctly applied the provisions of the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule to those findings.
Arbitration appeal dismissed; insured entitled to weekly benefits and compensation for housekeeping services provided by family.
The insurer appealed an arbitration order granting the insured weekly benefits and housekeeping expenses following a motor vehicle accident.
The insurer argued the arbitrator misconstrued medical evidence regarding the insured's ability to perform essential tasks and erred in awarding housekeeping expenses for services provided by family members.
The Director of Arbitrations dismissed the appeal, finding the arbitrator's conclusions on disability were supported by the evidence.
The Director also upheld the housekeeping award, confirming that paragraph 6(1)(f) of the Schedule allows compensation for reasonable services provided by family members when required for the insured's care or rehabilitation.
