Application for accident benefits dismissed; applicant failed to prove injuries warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied several treatment plans on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove his injuries warranted removal from the MIG, preferring the respondent's insurer examination reports over the applicant's limited medical evidence.
As the MIG limit was exhausted, the treatment plans were denied.
Claims for a section 10 award, interest, and costs were also dismissed.
