Accident benefits application dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent insurer denied the claims, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and were subject to the $3,500 limit.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove her injuries were more than soft tissue in nature or that she had a pre-existing condition warranting removal from the MIG.
The Tribunal preferred the respondent's psychological assessment, which found no psychological impairment, over the applicant's evidence.
The application for benefits was dismissed.
