Application for accident benefits dismissed; applicant failed to prove injuries warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, disputing the respondent's determination that his injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant argued he should be removed from the MIG due to chronic pain, bursitis, and psychological impairments.
The Tribunal found the applicant failed to prove his injuries warranted removal from the MIG, noting his pain was improving, his bursitis was captured within the MIG definition, and his psychological symptoms did not constitute an impairment.
As the applicant remained within the MIG, the disputed treatment plans were not payable and the application was dismissed.
