Application for accident benefits dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the claims, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant argued her injuries warranted treatment beyond the MIG due to chronic pain and psychological injuries.
The Tribunal found the applicant's injuries were predominantly soft tissue in nature and fell squarely within the definition of minor injuries.
The applicant failed to provide sufficient evidence of chronic pain syndrome or psychological impairment.
The application for medical benefits and interest was dismissed.
