The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied treatment plans on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and its $3,500 funding limit.
The applicant argued that pre-existing conditions, psychological impairments, and chronic pain warranted removal from the MIG.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to establish a pre-existing condition that precluded recovery within the MIG, noting only sporadic pre-accident reports of back pain and sleep issues.
The Tribunal also rejected the applicant's psychological evidence, preferring the respondent's expert who found no psychological impairment.
Finally, the Tribunal found insufficient evidence of chronic pain causing functional impairment.
The application was dismissed, and the disputed treatment plans and interest were denied.
