Application for accident benefits dismissed; applicant failed to prove injuries warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, arguing that psychological impairments and chronic pain warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant's injuries were predominantly soft tissue in nature and that there was insufficient objective medical evidence to substantiate the claims of psychological impairment or chronic pain.
Consequently, the applicant remained subject to the $3,500 MIG limit, and the disputed treatment plans, special award, and interest were denied.
