Application for accident benefits dismissed; applicant failed to prove injuries warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied various chiropractic and psychological treatment plans, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove on a balance of probabilities that he suffered from a pre-existing condition, a psychological impairment, or chronic pain that would warrant removal from the MIG.
The Tribunal preferred the respondent's psychological and physical assessments, noting a lack of psychological symptoms in the treating practitioners' records and no evidence of functional impairment.
The application for the disputed treatment plans, interest, and an award was dismissed.
