The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, specifically claiming entitlement to a chiropractic treatment plan and an occupational therapy in-home assessment.

The respondent denied the benefits.

The adjudicator found that the applicant failed to prove the treatments were reasonable and necessary.

The Tribunal found the applicant failed to meet the burden of proof for removal from the MIG.

The Tribunal also found the respondent's denial letters complied with s. 38(8) of the Schedule.

The application was dismissed, and no interest or award was granted.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming entitlement to chiropractic treatment and a psychological assessment outside the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

Furthermore, the Tribunal accepted evidence that the applicant's psychological issues were caused by a subsequent accident.

The Tribunal concluded the applicant's injuries were predominantly minor, dismissed the claims for the treatment plans, and denied claims for an award and interest.

The applicant applied to the Licence Appeal Tribunal, arguing that chronic pain, psychological impairments, and extensive dental injuries warranted removal from the MIG.

The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to establish on a balance of probabilities that the accident was a necessary cause of his dental impairments or his left ankle impairment.

While the accident was a necessary cause of his right ankle, foot, and other soft tissue injuries, the applicant did not provide sufficient medical evidence of chronic pain or psychological impairment to warrant removal from the MIG.

The application for the disputed treatment plans and interest was dismissed.
