Applicant's injuries found to be within the Minor Injury Guideline; disputed treatment plans denied.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits.
The respondent denied several treatment plans on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant applied to the Licence Appeal Tribunal, arguing for removal from the MIG due to psychological impairments and chronic pain.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to establish accident-related psychological impairments or chronic pain warranting removal from the MIG, preferring the respondent's medical assessments which showed limited functional impairment.
As the MIG limit was exhausted, the disputed treatment plans and interest were denied.
The respondent's request for costs was also dismissed.
