Claim for ongoing weekly income benefits dismissed due to lack of objective evidence and contradictory surveillance.
The Applicant sought ongoing weekly income benefits following a minor motor vehicle accident.
The Insurer terminated benefits after 10 months.
The Arbitrator found the Applicant's claims of disabling physical and psychological pain to be unsupported by objective medical evidence and contradicted by surveillance footage showing him engaging in normal activities without restriction.
The claim for ongoing benefits was dismissed.
The Applicant was awarded half of his arbitration expenses and the return of a $2,000 assessment fee, as the claim was not found to be frivolous or vexatious.
