F.S. v. Travelers (18-000582)

The insurer argued that the claimant was barred from proceeding with the LAT dispute in accordance with section 55. Adjudicator Ferguson disagreed. He held that the claimant had notified the insurer of the accident within a few days and of his intention to claim benefits. An OCF-1 was filed within 30 days of the accident. Although the first treatment plans were filed about two years after the accident, the SABS did not bar the claimant from pursuing treatment at such a late date provided the OCF-1 had already been submitted.
