Application for accident benefits dismissed; applicant failed to prove injuries warranted removal from Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied treatment plans on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant argued for removal from the MIG due to physical injuries, psychological impairments, and chronic pain.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide compelling medical evidence to warrant removal from the MIG.
The diagnostic imaging was unremarkable, there was no evidence of psychological impairment, and the applicant's functionality was inconsistent with a chronic pain diagnosis.
The application was dismissed, and the disputed treatment plans, interest, and award were denied.
