Claim for ongoing weekly accident benefits dismissed as functional evaluation showed ability to perform essential tasks.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and received weekly statutory accident benefits until the insurer terminated them.
The applicant sought arbitration to reinstate the benefits, claiming a substantial inability to perform essential tasks.
The arbitrator reviewed conflicting medical evidence and preferred the functional abilities evaluation of an occupational therapist, which demonstrated the applicant could perform his essential daily tasks.
The claim for ongoing weekly benefits was dismissed, though the applicant was awarded the expenses of the arbitration.
