The Applicant was injured when struck by a car while riding her bicycle.
The Insurer paid weekly income benefits but terminated them, arguing the Applicant failed to mitigate her damages by finding alternative part-time employment.
The Arbitrator found the Applicant had not acted inappropriately, given her significant job barriers, physical limitations, and ongoing education and physiotherapy.
The Arbitrator ordered the Insurer to pay ongoing weekly income benefits and awarded a $2,500 special award because the Insurer unreasonably withheld benefits.
