A Decade of Determination: Arland Bruce Decision

An arbitrator has ruled that two Canadian Football League teams violated the contract of former player Arland Bruce III, who suffered a game-related concussion in 2012.

Lawyer Robyn Wishart told CBC News that Bruce and his family are "thrilled" about the decision, after more than a decade of trying to establish that there had been breaches in the collective agreement.

"His lifelong dream has always been to be a Hall of Famer. And, you know, this was a rearview mirror thing for him" over the course the arbitration, she said.

"To get an establishment of three breaches is ... just really so important to him and his family, the most important thing."

Day 20. Why doesn't insurance consider a new wheelchair a necessity?

A person has been using the same wheelchair for nine years, paid for in cash, and insurance does not cover a new one, claiming it's not a necessity. Insurance coverage for medical necessities varies by contract and individual medical conditions. Advocacy and knowledge are required to educate insurance adjusters on what is medically necessary.

Reasons:
Insurance definitions of medical necessity differ, and adjusters may not understand the specific needs of individuals with conditions like spinal cord injuries.

Day 19: Is it possible to get paid for being a caregiver while maintaining insurance coverage?
It may be possible to get paid as a caregiver if all criteria are met, and it should not violate human rights based on marital status.

Meeting all criteria for caregiver compensation is essential, and discrimination based on marital status is a human rights issue.

If you are in need of caregiver compensation or support, it is important to explore the specific programs available and make sure all the eligibility requirements are met. You may also want to reach out to community organizations, government services in BC, or of Wishart Brain and Spine Law for more detailed guidance.

Day 18. How changeable are insurance policies or guidelines?

It is important to understand the impact of pre-existing conditions on policy changeability and the negotiability of policy terms before and after an injury. Insurance policies are more negotiable before an injury than after. Maintaining the same insurance policy after changing jobs can protect against pre-existing condition clauses.

Reasons:
Pre-existing conditions limit negotiability, and changing policies can lead to loss of coverage for existing conditions.
