The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and settled his statutory accident benefits claim with the insurer, executing a full and final release.
Subsequently, an arbitration was commenced for an unpaid catastrophic assessment report, which was dismissed due to the prior settlement.
The insurer sought its expenses for the arbitration.
The arbitrator found that the arbitration was driven by the assessment facility, AssessNet Inc., rather than the applicant.
The arbitrator awarded the insurer its expenses in the amount of $13,387.31, and ordered that they be paid by AssessNet Inc. as the party instructing the conduct of the hearing.
