Accident benefits claim dismissed; applicant fabricated evidence of pre-accident employment contracts and ordered to pay expenses.
The applicant, a pedestrian injured in a motor vehicle accident, applied for income replacement benefits and non-earner benefits.
He claimed he had two future contracts of employment made before the accident.
The arbitrator found the applicant's evidence regarding the employment contracts to be fabricated, illogical, and inconsistent, concluding he did not meet the eligibility criteria for income replacement benefits.
The claim for non-earner benefits was also dismissed as the medical evidence and the applicant's continued university attendance did not support a complete inability to carry on a normal life.
The applicant was ordered to pay the insurer's arbitration expenses due to his conduct and fabrication of evidence.
