The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming a full-thickness shoulder tear warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The respondent denied the claim, arguing the injuries were minor and the shoulder tear was not accident-related.
The Tribunal found the applicant failed to prove causation, noting a lack of contemporaneous complaints, a subsequent snow-shoveling injury, and a two-and-a-half-year delay before the ultrasound.
The application was dismissed, and the disputed treatment plan was denied.
