Claim for weekly accident benefits dismissed as applicant failed to prove substantial inability to perform essential tasks.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and received weekly statutory accident benefits for 18 months before the insurer terminated them.
The applicant sought arbitration, claiming continued entitlement to weekly benefits on the basis of a substantial inability to perform his essential tasks.
The arbitrator found that the applicant's condition had improved significantly and that his pain did not substantially impair his ability to perform his essential tasks during the disputed period.
The claim for weekly benefits was dismissed, but the applicant was awarded his arbitration expenses.
