The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the benefits on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant argued that the respondent's denial notices were non-compliant with s. 38(8) of the Schedule, which should preclude the respondent from relying on the MIG.
The Tribunal found that the denial notices were compliant because citing the MIG constitutes a valid medical reason.
As the applicant provided no medical evidence to establish injuries outside the MIG, the Tribunal held that the applicant remains subject to the MIG limits and dismissed the claims for the disputed treatment plans, interest, and an award.
