Application for accident benefits dismissed as injuries remained within the Minor Injury Guideline limits.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including chiropractic treatment, medication, and assessments for chronic pain and psychological impairments.
The respondent denied the benefits on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and the $3,500 limit.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove his injuries fell outside the MIG, rejecting claims of chronic pain syndrome, psychological impairment, and a pre-existing condition that prevented maximal recovery.
As the applicant had not exhausted the $3,500 limit, the disputed treatment plans and assessments were denied, and the application was dismissed.
