The claimant sought ongoing IRBs following a motor vehicle accident. The claimant had been a tow truck driver prior to the accident, but had not returned to work. The insurer terminated the claimant’s entitlement to IRBs after eight months. Adjudicator Sapin concluded that the claimant continued to suffer a substantial inability to complete the essential tasks of his pre-accident employment as a tow truck driver. The adjudicator was critical of the insurer’s IE assessors for performing a cursory assessment of the claimant and failing to perform certain physical tests. She also found the claimant to be credible in terms of his recollection and self-reported impairments.
