Application for accident benefits dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits.
The respondent denied the claims on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant argued that pre-existing lower back and psychological conditions prevented her from achieving maximal recovery within the MIG limits.
The Tribunal found insufficient evidence of any pre-existing conditions that would warrant removal from the MIG.
Consequently, the applicant's injuries were deemed minor, and her claims for additional medical benefits and examination costs were dismissed.
