Application for accident benefits dismissed; injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming his injuries, including pulsatile tinnitus, warranted treatment beyond the $3,500 Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) limit.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found insufficient medical evidence to substantiate the tinnitus or prove it was caused by the accident.
Relying on independent medical examinations, the Tribunal concluded the applicant's physical injuries were uncomplicated soft tissue injuries that fell within the MIG.
The disputed chiropractic treatment plans were deemed neither reasonable nor necessary, and the application was dismissed.
