Application for accident benefits dismissed; applicant failed to prove injuries warranted removal from Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought various medical benefits and costs of examinations from the respondent insurer.
The insurer denied the benefits on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to meet the burden of proving that his physical or psychological impairments warranted removal from the MIG.
The Tribunal also dismissed the claims for the costs of examinations, finding them not reasonable and necessary, and denied the claim for a section 10 award.
