Application for statutory accident benefits dismissed due to insufficient evidence of entitlement.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits for caregiver, attendant care, and housekeeping expenses, as well as the cost of a psychological assessment.
The arbitrator dismissed all claims, finding that the applicant was not the primary caregiver for his children prior to the accident, did not require attendant care, and provided inconsistent evidence regarding housekeeping expenses.
The claim for the psychological assessment was dismissed due to a lack of evidence.
Arbitrator declined to recuse himself after inadvertently seeing a settlement offer post-decision writing.
The arbitrator inadvertently read a settlement offer submitted by the insurer prior to the hearing, after he had finished writing his decision but before it was formatted and released.
The applicant requested that the arbitrator recuse himself on the grounds of a reasonable apprehension of bias.
The arbitrator dismissed the motion, finding that an informed person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, would not conclude that his impartiality was compromised, as the decision had already been written and was not changed.
