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

The respondent denied the claims, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The Tribunal found that the applicant sustained soft tissue injuries and did not suffer from chronic pain or a psychological injury caused by the accident.

Consequently, the applicant was subject to the MIG and its funding limits, precluding entitlement to the disputed medical and attendant care benefits.

The Tribunal also dismissed the claim for non-earner benefits, finding the applicant did not suffer a complete inability to carry on a normal life.

The applicant was injured while riding a public bus and sought statutory accident benefits, including non-earner benefits, catastrophic impairment assessments, and various medical and rehabilitation benefits.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant did not suffer a complete inability to carry on a normal life, dismissing the claim for non-earner benefits.

However, given the applicant's significant pre-existing conditions and accident-related physical and psychological injuries, the Tribunal found the catastrophic impairment assessments reasonable and necessary, excluding a file review fee.

The Tribunal also approved a neurological assessment and a psychological treatment plan, while dismissing the remaining treatment plans.

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

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

The Tribunal found that the applicant suffered soft tissue injuries and did not establish that pre-existing conditions, chronic pain with functional impairment, or psychological impairments warranted removal from the MIG.

As the $3,500 MIG limit was exhausted, the disputed treatment plans were not payable.

The application was dismissed.
