Applicant entitled to ongoing weekly income benefits as chronic pain syndrome prevented suitable alternative employment.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and received weekly income benefits until the insurer terminated them.
The applicant applied for arbitration, claiming ongoing entitlement under section 12(5)(b) of the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule.
The arbitrator found that the applicant suffered from chronic pain syndrome resulting from the accident, which continuously prevented him from engaging in any employment for which he was reasonably suited by education, training, or experience, including the alternative position of a service advisor.
The arbitrator ordered the insurer to pay weekly income benefits from the date of termination, along with interest and arbitration expenses.
