Accident benefits denied where applicant failed to attend hearing and surveillance contradicted claimed impairments.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits, including non-earner disability benefits and income replacement benefits, following a motor vehicle accident.
The applicant failed to attend the arbitration hearing and his subsequent request for an adjournment was denied.
The arbitrator dismissed the claims for benefits, finding that the applicant's medical evidence was unsupported by diagnostic imaging and contradicted by surveillance video showing him working and moving freely.
Claims for interest and arbitration expenses by both parties were also dismissed.
