Applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline; disputed treatment plans denied as limits exhausted.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the benefits, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant argued for removal from the MIG based on chronic pain and psychological impairments.
The Tribunal found the physical injuries were sprains and strains falling within the MIG, and rejected the applicant's psychological evidence in favour of the respondent's section 44 psychological assessment.
As the MIG limits were exhausted, the disputed treatment plans were not payable.
