Application for accident benefits dismissed; applicant failed to prove injuries warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including a $1,954.30 physiotherapy treatment plan.
The respondent denied the treatment on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant argued for removal from the MIG based on a psychological impairment and post-concussion syndrome.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide sufficient medical evidence to establish an accident-related psychological impairment or concussion.
The adjudicator accepted the respondent's section 44 assessment and hospital records indicating minor physical injuries.
The application was dismissed, and the applicant remains subject to the MIG.
