Applicant v. Aviva Insurance Company of Canada (17-004147)

The claimant sought removal from the MIG and entitlement to IRBs and various medical benefits. The insurer argued that the claimant failed to attend an IE, which barred payment of further IRBs. Adjudicator Norris concluded that the claimant did not suffer pre-existing conditions that would prevent recovery under the MIG and that the claimant did not suffer psychological injuries in the accident. He also held that the claimant was not entitled to further IRBs, and that the claimant’s non-attendance at an IE without reasonable explanation barred payment of IRBs for the period of non-compliance.
