Application for accident benefits dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied certain claims, including a chronic pain assessment and treatment, arguing the injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and the $3,500 limit was exhausted.
The Tribunal found the applicant failed to prove on a balance of probabilities that her injuries fell outside the MIG due to chronic pain or psychological impairment.
The Tribunal dismissed the application, finding the disputed assessment and treatment plans were not payable as the MIG limit had been exhausted.
