Claim for housekeeping benefits dismissed due to lack of medical evidence and applicant's failure to attend.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits for housekeeping and home maintenance expenses following a motor vehicle accident.
The applicant failed to attend the arbitration hearing.
The arbitrator proceeded in his absence and dismissed the claim, finding insufficient evidence to establish a substantial inability to perform pre-accident housekeeping duties.
The insurer's request to add claims for its expenses and for a frivolous proceeding was denied due to lack of notice to the applicant.
