Claim for ongoing weekly income benefits dismissed as applicant could work as a hostess or clerk.
The Applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident while riding a bicycle and received weekly income benefits until July 18, 1994.
She applied for ongoing benefits under section 12(5)(b) of the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule, claiming she was continuously prevented from engaging in any occupation reasonably suited to her education, training, or experience.
The arbitrator found that while the Applicant suffered a permanent moderate restriction in her right elbow, she had the necessary skills and physical ability to work as a retail sales clerk or restaurant hostess.
The claim for ongoing weekly income benefits and a special award was dismissed, but the Applicant was awarded her arbitration expenses.
