Application for accident benefits dismissed as psychological injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The insurer denied a treatment plan for a psychological assessment, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Tribunal found that the applicant's psychological symptoms were minor and did not warrant removal from the MIG.
The Tribunal preferred the respondent's psychological assessments over the applicant's, noting the applicant's symptoms were minor and partially attributed to postpartum issues.
The application was dismissed.
