Gerard Tillmann — Adjudicator

Bateer v. Unifund Assurance Company, 2023 CanLII 110936

Accident benefits application dismissed; applicant failed to prove injuries warranting removal from MIG.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.

The respondent denied certain treatment plans on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The applicant applied to the Licence Appeal Tribunal, arguing that chronic pain and psychological injuries warranted removal from the MIG.

The Tribunal found that the applicant's medical records did not support his claims of chronic pain or accident-related psychological impairment, noting significant gaps in treatment and inconsistencies in self-reporting.

As the applicant failed to meet his burden to establish removal from the MIG, and the disputed treatment plans exceeded the $3,500 funding limit, the application was dismissed.

Mitchell v. Aviva Insurance Company, 2023 CanLII 26955

Applicant awarded 12 additional weeks of non-earner benefits and partial approval of treatment plans.

The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits, including non-earner benefits (NEBs) and medical/rehabilitation benefits.

The respondent terminated NEBs after one year and denied several treatment plans.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found the applicant was entitled to NEBs for an additional 12 weeks, relying on a disability certificate and medical evidence showing she remained substantially unable to perform her pre-accident activities.

The Tribunal also partially approved two chiropractic treatment plans for massage therapy components but denied the balance of a psychological treatment plan.

The claim for a special award was dismissed, but interest was awarded on overdue payments.

Hillyer v. Aviva Insurance Company of Canada, 2022 CanLII 65654

Application for accident benefits dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline limit.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming her injuries, including a concussion and headaches, fell outside the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

As a preliminary issue, the adjudicator excluded the respondent's surveillance evidence due to late service, finding it prejudiced the applicant's ability to respond.

On the substantive issues, the adjudicator found insufficient medical evidence to support the concussion or persistent headache claims, concluding the injuries were predominantly minor.

Because the disputed treatment plans exceeded the $3,500 MIG limit, they were denied, and the application was dismissed.
