Application for accident benefits dismissed; applicant failed to prove entitlement to removal from Minor Injury Guideline.
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).
The applicant argued for removal from the MIG based on a pre-existing right-leg fracture and an accident-related psychological impairment.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide compelling medical evidence that her pre-existing condition prevented maximal recovery within the MIG.
Furthermore, the Tribunal afforded little weight to the applicant's psychological assessment due to a lack of corroborating medical records and reliability issues.
As the applicant remained within the MIG, her claims for disputed treatment plans, interest, and an award were dismissed.
