Applicant's injuries confined to Minor Injury Guideline; claims for treatment plans exceeding the cap denied.
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 Tribunal found that the applicant's physical injuries were predominantly minor and that he failed to provide compelling evidence of a pre-existing condition that would preclude maximal recovery within the MIG limits.
The Tribunal also preferred the evidence of the respondent's psychological expert, finding that the applicant did not suffer from a psychological impairment that would remove him from the MIG.
As the applicant's injuries were confined to the MIG, the disputed benefits exceeding the $3,500 cap were denied.
