Appeal of arbitration decision denying statutory accident benefits and alleging arbitrator bias dismissed.
The appellant appealed an arbitration decision denying his claims for weekly income benefits, non-earner benefits, and medical and rehabilitation benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The appellant, an accordion player, claimed he earned income from performing prior to the accident and was completely disabled from his essential tasks.
The Director's Delegate upheld the Arbitrator's findings that the appellant failed to prove he earned income from playing the accordion before the accident and failed to establish a complete inability to perform his essential tasks.
The Director's Delegate also dismissed the appellant's allegations of bias against the Arbitrator and upheld the order requiring the appellant to pay the insurer's arbitration expenses.
