Claims for medical assessments dismissed as applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought medical benefits for psychological and neurological assessments.
The respondent insurer denied the benefits, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and its $3,500 funding limit.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant did not sustain a concussion, psychological injury, or chronic pain as a result of the subject accident, noting that any ongoing symptoms were likely attributable to a subsequent accident.
The Tribunal concluded the applicant sustained a minor injury subject to the MIG, dismissed the claims for the disputed assessment plans, and denied claims for an award and interest.
