The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and applied for statutory accident benefits.
The insurer denied her claims for income replacement, medical, attendant care, and housekeeping benefits.
At arbitration, the arbitrator found that the applicant's injuries, which included her left hand, wrist, and knee, took her impairments outside the Pre-Approved Framework Guideline.
The arbitrator awarded income replacement benefits for a specific period of disability, medical benefits for chiropractic and physiotherapy treatment, and attendant care and housekeeping benefits, finding the expenses were reasonable, necessary, and adequately supported by medical evidence.
Interest was also awarded on the overdue benefits.
