Application for accident benefits dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline limit.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied several treatment plans, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) limit of $3,500.
The applicant argued that pre-existing cervical dystonia, constant pain, and psychological impairments warranted removal from the MIG.
The Tribunal found insufficient medical evidence to support removal from the MIG, preferring the respondent's insurer's examination reports over the applicant's psychological assessment.
As the applicant remained within the MIG, the disputed treatment plans, interest, and an award were denied.
