The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming his psychological injuries and pre-existing conditions warranted treatment outside the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The respondent denied the benefits, arguing the injuries were minor.

The Tribunal found that the applicant's pre-existing back pain and anxiety did not preclude his recovery within the MIG.

Furthermore, the Tribunal preferred the respondent's psychological assessment, finding the applicant's anxiety and depression were primarily related to personal stressors rather than the accident.

The application was dismissed, and the applicant was held to the $3,500 MIG funding limit.

The applicant sought entitlement to statutory accident benefits for a rehabilitation assistant, physiotherapy, massage, and a gym membership following a motor vehicle accident.

Medical evidence demonstrated that the applicant's rotator cuff tear pre-dated the accident and that she had reached maximal medical improvement with full range of motion.

The application was dismissed.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming entitlement to chiropractic treatment and a psychological assessment outside the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The Tribunal found insufficient medical evidence to support a chronic pain diagnosis caused by the subject accident.

Furthermore, the Tribunal accepted evidence that the applicant's psychological issues were caused by a subsequent accident.

The Tribunal concluded the applicant's injuries were predominantly minor, dismissed the claims for the treatment plans, and denied claims for an award and interest.

The insurer classified his injuries under the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and denied various treatment plans and income replacement benefits (IRBs).

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant developed a chronic pain condition, removing him from the MIG.

The Tribunal approved a chronic pain assessment plan but denied a psychological assessment and a chronic pain treatment plan, finding them not reasonable and necessary.

The claim for IRBs was also dismissed as the applicant failed to prove a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of his employment as a cabinet maker.

The applicant sought income replacement benefits and medical benefits for physiotherapy following a rear-end motor vehicle accident.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application, finding that the applicant failed to prove a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of her employment.

The claims for interest and an award were also dismissed.
