The applicant sought accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, arguing she should be removed from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) due to chronic pain and psychological injuries.

The Tribunal held the applicant to the MIG, rendering the disputed treatment plan for chiropractic services moot, and denied claims for interest and a special award.

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 applicant argued for removal from the MIG based on chronic pain with a functional impairment and a psychological condition.

The Tribunal found the applicant's evidence, including clinical notes from his family doctor, did not support his claims of chronic pain or psychological impairment.

The Tribunal concluded the applicant's injuries remained within the MIG, dismissing the claims for physiotherapy, a psychological assessment, interest, and an award.
