Accident benefits claims dismissed due to applicant's lack of credibility and failure to prove impairment.
The applicant was involved in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits, including income replacement, attendant care, and housekeeping benefits.
The insurer denied the claims.
The arbitrator dismissed all of the applicant's claims, finding that the applicant lacked credibility and failed to prove on a balance of probabilities that he suffered a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of his employment or his housekeeping tasks.
The arbitrator also found that the applicant's wife did not sustain an economic loss to justify the attendant care and housekeeping claims.
Claims for a special award and interest were consequently dismissed.
