Application for accident benefits dismissed; injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits for physiotherapy and a psychological assessment following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the benefits on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and were not reasonable or necessary.
The Tribunal found that the applicant did not suffer from a psychological impairment, pre-existing condition, or chronic pain that would remove him from the MIG.
The Tribunal further held that the requested treatment plans were not reasonable or necessary.
The application was dismissed.
