Application for accident benefits dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
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) and the $3,500 limit had been exhausted.
The applicant argued for removal from the MIG due to chronic pain, a psychological impairment, and a pre-existing injury from a prior accident.
The Tribunal found that the applicant suffered predominantly minor soft-tissue injuries and failed to substantiate the claims for chronic pain, psychological impairment, or a pre-existing condition that precluded recovery within the MIG.
The application was dismissed.
