Claims for income replacement, attendant care, and housekeeping benefits dismissed due to unreliable and insufficient evidence.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought arbitration after the insurer denied his claims for income replacement, attendant care, and housekeeping benefits.
The arbitrator dismissed the claim for income replacement benefits, finding the applicant's evidence regarding his self-employment as an artist and a purported employment contract to be unreliable and contradicted by his tax returns.
The claims for attendant care and housekeeping benefits were also dismissed due to a lack of supporting evidence, including the absence of a recommendation from a qualified health practitioner and no proof that outside housekeeping services were actually engaged.
All claims were dismissed.
