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, arguing her injuries—including chronic pain, psychological impairments, post-concussive syndrome, and pre-existing conditions—warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found the applicant failed to provide compelling medical evidence or documentation from treating physicians to substantiate her claims for removal from the MIG.
As the applicant's injuries were deemed predominantly minor and the MIG limits were exhausted, her claims for various treatment plans, interest, and a punitive award were dismissed.
