Weekly accident benefits partially granted; surveillance and expert evidence showed injuries resolved shortly after accident.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and received weekly statutory accident benefits until the insurer terminated them.
The applicant sought ongoing benefits, claiming a substantial inability to perform his essential tasks.
The arbitrator found that the applicant exaggerated his injuries and that surveillance evidence contradicted his claims of disability.
Relying on the insurer's orthopaedic expert, the arbitrator concluded the applicant's physical injuries resolved shortly after the accident and awarded benefits only for an additional brief period up to October 3, 1990.
