Application for accident benefits dismissed; applicant failed to prove entitlement to non-earner benefits or removal from MIG.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, disputing the insurer's determination that her injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and claiming entitlement to a non-earner benefit.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide submissions or evidence to warrant removal from the MIG.
Furthermore, relying on section 44 assessments, the Tribunal concluded the applicant did not suffer a complete inability to carry on a normal life, as she was able to engage in lighter tasks and various activities of daily living.
The application was dismissed.
