The applicant sought statutory accident benefits for chiropractic treatment following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the benefits, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and that one treatment plan was statute-barred due to the applicant's failure to attend a section 44 insurer's examination.
The Tribunal found the applicant was statute-barred from claiming the $1,053.84 treatment plan because he failed to attend the properly scheduled examination without reasonable explanation.
Furthermore, the Tribunal held the applicant failed to prove he suffered from chronic pain warranting removal from the MIG.
As the MIG limits were exhausted, the claims for medical benefits and interest were dismissed.
