Applicant awarded ongoing weekly income and rehabilitation benefits for chronic pain following a motor vehicle accident.
The Applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and received statutory accident benefits until the Insurer terminated them.
The Applicant sought arbitration for ongoing weekly income benefits, medical and rehabilitation benefits, and a special award.
The arbitrator found that the Applicant suffered from chronic pain and soft tissue injuries that prevented her from returning to full-time work, entitling her to ongoing weekly income benefits and specific rehabilitation benefits, including ergonomic equipment for a home office.
The arbitrator denied the Insurer's request for repayment of chiropractic expenses and denied the Applicant's request for a special award, finding the Insurer's actions were not unreasonable.
