The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming entitlement to chiropractic treatment and a psychological assessment outside the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The applicant argued that chronic pain and a psychological condition warranted removal from the MIG.

The Tribunal found insufficient medical evidence to support a chronic pain diagnosis caused by the subject accident.

Furthermore, the Tribunal accepted evidence that the applicant's psychological issues were caused by a subsequent accident.

The Tribunal concluded the applicant's injuries were predominantly minor, dismissed the claims for the treatment plans, and denied claims for an award and interest.

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

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

The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove her injuries fell outside the MIG or that pre-existing conditions prevented her recovery within the MIG limits.

The Tribunal also dismissed the claims for a non-earner benefit, treatment plans, and a special award, as the applicant provided insufficient evidence to support her claims.

The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits, including an income replacement benefit (IRB) and funding for assessments.

The insurer denied the benefits, arguing the applicant suffered predominantly minor injuries.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant suffered from chronic pain causing functional impairment, removing her from the Minor Injury Guideline and entitling her to $65,000 in medical and rehabilitation benefits.

The Tribunal awarded the IRB and the cost of a chronic pain assessment, but denied funding for a psychological assessment and a special award for unreasonable delay.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming entitlement to medical and rehabilitation benefits beyond the $3,500 limit of the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) due to psychological impairment, chronic shoulder pain, and a pre-existing heart condition (COPD).

The Tribunal found that the applicant's psychological symptoms were sequelae of his physical injuries rather than a free-standing impairment, and that he failed to establish chronic pain syndrome.

Furthermore, the applicant did not prove that his pre-existing COPD would prevent him from achieving maximal medical recovery under the MIG.

As the applicant did not address his claim for a non-earner benefit in his submissions, it was denied.

The application was dismissed in its entirety.
