Applicant's injuries found to be predominantly minor; claims for treatment plans beyond MIG limit dismissed.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied several treatment plans for chiropractic services on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove her injuries, including alleged chronic pain and psychological impairments, warranted removal from the MIG.
The Tribunal accepted the respondent's medical assessment, which was corroborated by the applicant's family physician's records, over the applicant's chiropractor's recommendations.
As the MIG limits were exhausted, the disputed treatment plans were denied.
Claims for an award and interest were also dismissed.
