Application for accident benefits dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline limits.
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) and the $3,500 limit had been exhausted.
The applicant argued for removal from the MIG due to a concussion, pre-existing conditions, and psychological impairments.
The Tribunal found insufficient evidence of a concussion or pre-existing conditions precluding recovery.
Relying on the respondent's section 44 psychological assessment over the applicant's psychological report, the Tribunal concluded the applicant suffered only minor injuries.
The application for the disputed treatment plans, interest, and an award for unreasonable delay was dismissed.
