Application for accident benefits dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming her physical and psychological impairments warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The adjudicator found that the applicant's physical injuries were soft-tissue in nature and that she failed to demonstrate functionally disabling pain or a diagnosable psychological condition requiring treatment beyond the MIG.
The adjudicator preferred the respondent's expert reports, noting the applicant continued to work full-time and lacked corroborating medical evidence for her claims.
As the injuries fell within the MIG and the limits were exhausted, the claims for attendant care, medical benefits, and an award for unreasonable delay were dismissed.
