Application for medical benefits dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought medical benefits for physiotherapy services.
The respondent denied the benefits on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant sustained predominantly minor injuries, as defined in the Schedule, and failed to provide compelling evidence of a pre-existing medical condition that would prevent maximal recovery within the MIG limits.
Consequently, the applicant was not entitled to the disputed treatment plan or interest.
