The applicant was injured when her car door fell off its hinges.
She received weekly income benefits until the insurer terminated them based on medical reports indicating she could return to work.
The applicant sought arbitration, claiming ongoing chronic pain prevented her from performing her job as an accounts receivable clerk.
The arbitrator dismissed the claim, finding the medical evidence did not support a causal link between the minor trauma and her ongoing complaints.
Furthermore, video surveillance evidence contradicted her claims of physical limitation, leading the arbitrator to conclude she had not established a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of her employment.
