Application for accident benefits dismissed due to unexcused failure to notify insurer within 30 days.
The applicant was involved in a motor vehicle accident and applied for statutory accident benefits.
The insurer refused to pay, arguing the applicant failed to notify them of his intention to apply within 30 days as required by subsection 59(1) of the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule.
The arbitrator found that the applicant did not notify the insurer until 87 days after the accident and lacked a reasonable excuse for the delay.
The application for arbitration was dismissed.
