Unsuccessful accident benefits applicant ordered to pay $5,000 in arbitration expenses to the insurer.
Following the dismissal of the applicant's claims for statutory accident benefits, the insurer sought its expenses for the arbitration proceeding.
The arbitrator found that the insurer was completely successful and the applicant was completely unsuccessful, largely due to adverse credibility findings and grossly exaggerated claims.
The arbitrator ordered the applicant to pay the insurer's expenses, fixed at $5,000 inclusive of fees and disbursements.
