Accident benefits application dismissed; injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline and non-earner benefit denied.
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 prove she sustained a concussion, chronic pain, or a psychological condition that would warrant removal from the MIG.
Furthermore, the Tribunal held that the applicant was not entitled to a non-earner benefit, as she retained the ability to perform self-care and light housekeeping, and therefore did not suffer a complete inability to carry on a normal life.
The application was dismissed.
