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

The respondent denied the benefits, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The Tribunal found that the applicant suffered from an accident-related psychological condition, warranting removal from the MIG.

The Tribunal approved treatment plans for a psychological assessment, a chronic pain assessment, and partially approved psychological services, but denied plans for a neurological assessment, driving rehabilitation, and physiotherapy.

The applicant's claim for an award for unreasonable delay was dismissed, but interest on overdue benefits was granted.

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

The respondent moved to dismiss the application because the applicant failed to attend a scheduled psychological insurer's examination under s. 44 of the Schedule.

The Tribunal found the applicant had a reasonable explanation for the non-attendance and had substantially complied with other examination requests.

Exercising its discretion under s. 55(2), the Tribunal stayed the hearing and ordered the respondent to reschedule the examination, permitting the application to proceed once the applicant attends.

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

The insurer denied the benefits, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The applicant claimed psychological impairments and chronic pain warranted removal from the MIG.

The Tribunal found inconsistencies in the applicant's reported psychological symptoms and concluded the physical pain complaints were either pre-existing, resolved, or not causally linked to the accident.

The Tribunal held the injuries were minor and subject to the MIG limit.

As the remaining MIG funding was insufficient, the disputed treatment plans were not payable.

Claims for an award and interest were also dismissed.

The applicant sought various statutory accident benefits, including treatment plans and attendant care benefits, following a motor vehicle accident.

At the start of the videoconference hearing, both parties requested to convert the proceeding to a written hearing as they were unprepared to proceed.

The adjudicator denied the request, noting the file's age and proper notice, and ordered a brief recess for preparation.

Following the recess, the parties advised that they had settled all issues in dispute, resulting in the closure of the Tribunal's file.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, arguing her injuries warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) due to chronic pain and psychological impairments.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found the applicant failed to meet her burden of proof, as medical evidence indicated her injuries were predominantly minor soft tissue injuries that had largely resolved.

Because the MIG limits were exhausted, the Tribunal dismissed the claims for additional chiropractic, physiotherapy, and psychological assessment treatment plans.

The Tribunal also found the respondent provided proper notice of denial under s. 38(8) of the Schedule, and denied claims for interest and a special award.
