Appeal of arbitration order denying ongoing income replacement benefits dismissed; arbitrator's factual findings upheld.
The appellant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and claimed income replacement benefits.
The insurer terminated benefits based on medical assessments indicating the appellant could return to work.
The arbitrator dismissed the appellant's claim for ongoing benefits, finding he was not substantially unable to perform the essential tasks of his self-employment in construction, and calculated a reduced benefit rate based on estimated business expenses.
On appeal, the Director's Delegate upheld the arbitrator's decision, finding no error in the assessment of the expert medical evidence or the pragmatic calculation of the appellant's self-employment income.
