Accident benefits denied; applicant failed to prove shoulder injury was caused by the motor vehicle accident.
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 contended that a right shoulder injury requiring surgery warranted removal from the MIG.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove the shoulder injury was caused by the accident, noting a two-year delay in reporting the pain and medical records suggesting a workplace injury.
As the applicant remained within the MIG and the limits were exhausted, the claims for treatment plans, attendant care, interest, and an award were dismissed.
