Application for accident benefits dismissed as applicant failed to prove injuries warranted removal from Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the benefits, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant argued for removal from the MIG based on chronic pain.
The Tribunal found the applicant failed to prove their injuries warranted removal from the MIG, noting the lack of a chronic pain diagnosis, no prescription medication, and a return to full-time pre-accident employment.
The application for an orthopaedic assessment, interest, and an award under O. Reg. 664 was dismissed.
