Chris McCormack wins limitation issues

Chris McCormack was successful on behalf of our client in this preliminary issues hearing addressing limitation issues. The claimant was found to be barred from proceeding with her claim for 10 benefits for failure to commence a proceeding within two years of the insurer’s refusal to pay the amount claimed. Vice-Chair McGee agreed with Adjudicator Neilson’s decision in S.S. v. Certas Home and Auto Insurance Company (18-001196/AABS), and held that it is not within the LAT’s jurisdiction to extend the limitation period under s. 7 of the LAT Act.

Chris Schnarr defends income replacement claim

Chris Schnarr successfully defended a claim for post-104 week income replacement benefits and med/rehab benefits involving a self employed roofer. The adjudicator accepted the conclusion of the insurer’s experts in light of the fact that the accident was very minor, and the applicant had not sought medical assistance from his family physician for a significant period of time. The claim also involved surveillance that called the applicant’s credibility. Lastly the applicant had not attempted to seek suitable employment.
