Applicant awarded ongoing statutory accident benefits and rehabilitation expenses due to wrist injury preventing heavy manual labour.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and received statutory accident benefits until the insurer terminated weekly income benefits.
The applicant sought arbitration for ongoing income benefits and rehabilitation expenses.
The arbitrator found that the applicant's wrist injury prevented him from performing his pre-accident heavy manual labour as a pool installer, entitling him to income benefits up to the 156-week mark.
Furthermore, the arbitrator concluded that the injury continuously prevented the applicant from engaging in any employment for which he was reasonably suited by education, training, or experience, entitling him to post-156 week benefits.
The arbitrator also awarded rehabilitation benefits and arbitration expenses.
