Claim for ongoing weekly income benefits dismissed as medical evidence did not support substantial disability.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and received weekly income benefits until they were terminated by the insurer.
The applicant sought ongoing benefits, claiming substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of his employment in the music production industry due to physical and psychological injuries, including chronic pain syndrome.
The arbitrator found that while the applicant was employed at the time of the accident and suffered soft tissue injuries, the medical evidence from orthopaedic and psychiatric specialists did not support a finding of substantial disability beyond the termination date.
The claim for ongoing weekly income benefits was dismissed, but the applicant was awarded his reasonable arbitration expenses.
