Accident benefits denied; applicant failed to prove injuries warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline.
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 Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide compelling evidence of chronic pain or psychological impairment to justify removal from the MIG.
As the MIG limits were exhausted, the disputed treatment plans were not reasonable and necessary.
The claims for a non-earner benefit and an award for unreasonable delay were also dismissed.
