Application for accident benefits dismissed; applicant failed to prove injuries warranted removal from Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming entitlement to income replacement benefits, various treatment plans, and removal from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) due to psychological and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) impairments.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove her injuries warranted removal from the MIG, noting inconsistencies in her reporting of the TMJ injury and a lack of medical evidence supporting a psychological impairment.
The claim for income replacement benefits was also dismissed as the applicant did not demonstrate a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of her employment.
All claims were dismissed.
