Accident benefits denied as applicant failed to prove injuries fell outside the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought payment for a general practitioner's assessment and psychological services following a motor vehicle accident.
The insurer denied the benefits on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove she suffered from a psychological impairment or chronic pain syndrome that would remove her from the MIG.
The Tribunal preferred the insurer's expert evidence, which included psychometric testing, over the applicant's evidence.
The claims for the assessment, psychological services, and interest were dismissed.
