Application for accident benefits dismissed as applicant failed to prove injuries warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the benefits, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant argued for removal from the MIG based on pre-existing conditions, chronic pain, and psychological impairments.
The Tribunal found the applicant failed to provide sufficient evidence to establish pre-existing impairments, accident-related chronic pain with functional limitations, or a psychological impairment warranting removal from the MIG.
As the $3,500 MIG limit was exhausted, the application for disputed treatment plans and interest was dismissed.
