Application for accident benefits beyond the Minor Injury Guideline dismissed for insufficient evidence of psychological impairment or chronic pain.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, arguing her injuries fell outside the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) due to psychological impairments and chronic pain.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found the applicant did not meet the burden of proving her injuries warranted removal from the MIG.
The Tribunal preferred the respondent's medical evidence, which included comprehensive reviews of medical records and in-person assessments, over the applicant's evidence, which was found to be contradictory and lacking in documentary review.
As the applicant remained within the MIG, her claims for various treatment plans, an award for unreasonable delay, and interest were dismissed.
