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 argued that she suffered from chronic pain and psychological impairments that removed her from the MIG.

The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to demonstrate on a balance of probabilities that her functionality was impaired by chronic pain or that she sustained a psychological injury outside the minor injury definition.

The application was dismissed.
