Arbitrator determines quantum and duration of weekly income benefits for two brothers injured in a motor vehicle accident.
The applicants, two brothers, were injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought weekly income benefits from their insurer.
The insurer terminated benefits in the summer of 1992.
Following an arbitration hearing, the arbitrator determined the applicants' pre-accident weekly incomes and calculated their respective benefit amounts.
Based on medical and psychological evidence, the arbitrator found that one applicant was disabled from his job as a bodyshop helper until December 30, 1992, and the other was disabled from his job as a cleaner until April 30, 1993.
Claims for repayment by the insurer and a special award by the applicants were dismissed due to a lack of evidence.
The applicants were awarded their arbitration expenses.
