Application for non-earner and medical benefits dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant was injured in a rear-end motor vehicle collision and sought non-earner benefits and medical benefits beyond the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) limit.
The adjudicator found that the applicant did not suffer a complete inability to carry on a normal life, as she returned to work and maintained independence in daily activities.
Furthermore, the applicant's injuries were predominantly soft-tissue sprains and strains falling within the MIG, and she failed to demonstrate a pre-existing condition or chronic pain that would warrant removal from the MIG framework.
The application was dismissed.
