The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and received weekly disability benefits until they were terminated by the insurer.
She applied for arbitration, claiming entitlement to further benefits under section 19 of the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule on the basis that she suffered a partial inability to carry on a normal life.
The arbitrator found inconsistencies in the applicant's reporting of her functional abilities and preferred the medical evidence indicating she could still perform the majority of her pre-accident mobility and household activities.
The claim for further benefits was dismissed, but the applicant was awarded her arbitration expenses as the claim was not totally without merit.
