Application for accident benefits dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline limit.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, disputing the insurer's determination that his injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide objective medical evidence to prove his injuries warranted removal from the MIG.
Relying on the insurer's physiatry assessment, the Tribunal concluded the applicant sustained soft tissue injuries that were predominantly minor.
As the applicant remained within the MIG and had exhausted the $3,500 limit, his claims for additional treatment plans, interest, and an award were dismissed.
