Application for catastrophic impairment dismissed; delayed paramedic report of low Glasgow Coma Scale score found unreliable.
The applicant was struck by a motor vehicle while riding his bicycle and sought a determination of catastrophic impairment based on a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 9 or less.
The adjudicator found that the paramedic's delayed report, which recorded a GCS of 8/15 three months after the accident, lacked credibility and reliability.
Preferring the respondent's expert neurological evidence, the adjudicator concluded the applicant did not sustain a catastrophic impairment.
The claim for an award under Ontario Regulation 664 was also dismissed as there was no evidence the insurer unreasonably withheld or delayed payments.
