Claim for weekly disability benefits dismissed due to pre-existing conditions; $175 awarded for damaged clothing.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought weekly disability benefits and reimbursement for damaged clothing under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule.
The arbitrator found that the applicant's pre-existing heart condition and limited pre-accident activities meant she did not suffer a complete inability to lead a normal life as a result of the accident.
The claim for weekly disability benefits was dismissed.
The arbitrator awarded $175 for damaged clothing, finding insufficient evidence to support the $4,170 claimed for wholesale replacement.
