The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming entitlement to various treatment plans and assessments outside the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) due to chronic pain and psychological impairments.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant's injuries were predominantly minor soft-tissue injuries.

The Tribunal preferred the respondent's medical assessments, noting that the applicant's contemporaneous medical records did not support a concussion, chronic pain with functional impairment, or a psychological condition.

As the applicant remained within the MIG, the disputed treatment plans were not payable, and claims for interest and a special award were dismissed.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, arguing his injuries fell outside the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) due to chronic pain with functional impairment and pre-existing conditions.

The Tribunal found that the applicant's accident-related pain resolved shortly after the accident and that a subsequent workplace incident caused his ongoing back issues.

Furthermore, the applicant failed to demonstrate that his pre-existing conditions impeded his recovery within the MIG limits.

As the MIG limits were exhausted, the application for further treatment plans and interest was dismissed.

The Applicant sought income replacement benefits (IRBs) following a motor vehicle accident.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application, finding the Applicant failed to prove she suffered a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of her employment.

The Tribunal noted the lack of evidence regarding her essential work tasks and found the medical evidence, including an occupational therapy report lacking objective functional assessments, insufficient to establish a disabling impairment.

Claims for a Regulation 664 award and interest were consequently dismissed.

The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits.

The respondent insurer determined the injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and denied several treatment plans.

The Tribunal found that the applicant suffered from chronic pain with functional impairment as a result of the accident, removing him from the MIG and its $3,500 funding limit.

The Tribunal approved five treatment plans for chiropractic and physical therapy services as reasonable and necessary, but denied two assessment plans for lack of supporting medical evidence.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a rear-end motor vehicle collision.

The respondent denied several treatment plans for chiropractic and physiotherapy services on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The Tribunal found that the applicant suffered predominantly minor injuries, consisting of sprains and strains, and rejected the applicant's claim of chronic pain syndrome.

As the applicant failed to demonstrate that her impairments warranted removal from the MIG and the monetary limits had been exhausted, the claims for medical benefits, interest, and a punitive award were dismissed.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.

The respondent denied several treatment plans on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The applicant argued that pre-existing conditions, psychological injuries, and ongoing pain removed her from the MIG.

The Tribunal found that the applicant's pre-existing conditions did not preclude recovery within the funding limit, preferred the respondent's psychological assessment finding no psychological impairment, and concluded there was no evidence of a chronic pain condition.

The Tribunal held that the applicant sustained predominantly minor injuries and dismissed the claims for medical benefits and interest.
