J.E.C.L. v. Allstate Insurance Company of Canada (17-006909)

The claimant sought entitlement to NEBs and a chronic pain assessment. Adjudicator Boyce concluded that the claimant’s activities remained largely the same after the accident. Although he suffered from pain, he was not practically prevented from the majority of his activities. Adjudicator Boyce also noted that the claimant failed to prove that his reported injuries related to the accident. The claimant’s ODSP file and disability tax application suggested long-standing impairments. The chronic pain assessment was awarded on the basis the claimant was experiencing continuous pain.
