Applicant's injuries fall within the Minor Injury Guideline as she failed to establish chronic pain.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, arguing her injuries should be excluded from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) due to chronic pain.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide a formal diagnosis of chronic pain or demonstrate that her impairments met the criteria outlined in the AMA Guides.
Relying on the respondent's orthopaedic assessment, the Tribunal concluded the applicant's injuries were predominantly minor.
Consequently, the claims for additional medical benefits and assessments were dismissed, and no interest was awarded.
