The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including non-earner benefits, treatment plans, and various assessments.
The respondent denied the benefits, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and that she was barred from claiming non-earner benefits for failing to attend an insurer's examination.
The Tribunal found the respondent failed to prove the applicant missed the examination, allowing the non-earner benefits claim to proceed.
However, the Tribunal concluded the applicant's injuries were minor and resolved shortly after the accident, dismissing her claims for non-earner benefits, chronic pain, and catastrophic impairment assessments.
The Tribunal awarded a maximum of $400 for a psychological assessment under the MIG's supplementary goods and services provision.
