Accident benefits claim dismissed; applicant's physical and psychological injuries did not warrant removal from the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied certain treatment plans, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Tribunal found that the applicant's physical injuries were limited to soft tissue strains and that she failed to prove any psychological impairment or pre-existing condition that would remove her from the MIG.
As the $3,500 MIG funding limit had already been exhausted, the disputed treatment plans were not payable.
