L.M. v. Gore Mutual Insurance Company (16-003772)

The claimant sought entitlement to non-earner benefits. The insurer resisted the claim and relied on medical reports as well as a statement from the claimant. Adjudicator Deborah Neilson reviewed the medical evidence and distilled the claimant’s pre- and post-accident activities of daily living. On review, it was held the claimant was completely disabled from performing the identified tasks. Non-earner benefits were awarded. The parties were invited to make submissions regarding interest at a later date.
