The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a rear-end motor vehicle collision.

The respondent denied several treatment plans for chiropractic care and a physiatry assessment on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The applicant argued that a possible coccyx fracture and chronic pain removed her from the MIG.

The Tribunal found insufficient evidence of a fracture and noted that the applicant's medical evidence failed to explain how her pain impaired her functioning.

Concluding that the injuries were predominantly minor and the MIG limits had been exhausted, the Tribunal dismissed the application.
