The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought interim income replacement and housekeeping and home maintenance benefits after the insurer terminated them.
The arbitrator found that the applicant established financial need, having exhausted his savings and borrowed money to meet living expenses.
The arbitrator also found that the applicant established a prima facie case for entitlement to the benefits based on medical evidence of his inability to perform his pre-accident job as a janitor and his housekeeping duties.
The motion for interim benefits was granted.
