Applicant v. Aviva Insurance (16-001990)

The claimant sought entitlement to income replacement benefits and a number of medical treatment plans. The insurer asserted a MIG position. On review of the medical evidence, Adjudicator Paul Gosio determined the claimant’s injuries were minor and governed by the MIG. The treatment plans claimed were dismissed. As it pertained to the IRB claim, Adjudicator Gosio determined that the claimant failed to meet the onus to show a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of employment. The claimant’s evidence was criticized for failing to address the specific essential employment tasks of the claimant.
