The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.

The respondent insurer denied several treatment plans, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide compelling medical evidence to warrant removal from the MIG, as her physical and psychological injuries were predominantly minor.

However, the Tribunal ordered the respondent to pay for four of the disputed treatment plans because the respondent's denial notices failed to comply with the requirements of s. 38(8) of the Schedule, lacking specific medical reasons or details about the applicant's condition.

The remaining treatment plans were denied, and interest was awarded on the overdue benefits.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, disputing the respondent's determination that his injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and the denial of several treatment plans for chiropractic services.

The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide submissions or evidence to warrant removal from the MIG.

Furthermore, the Tribunal determined that the respondent provided proper notice of denial for the disputed treatment plans under s. 38(8) of the Schedule, albeit some were late.

Because the applicant provided no evidence of incurred expenses during any period of non-compliance, the treatment plans were not payable, and claims for interest and an award were dismissed.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming his physical and psychological injuries warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The adjudicator found that the applicant's injuries were predominantly minor soft tissue strains, relying on the respondent's independent medical examination and the applicant's own family doctor records.

The applicant failed to provide compelling evidence of chronic pain or psychological impairment sufficient to justify removal from the MIG.

Consequently, the claims for treatment plans exceeding the $3,500 MIG limit and for an award were dismissed.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.

The respondent denied several treatment plans on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The applicant argued for removal from the MIG due to psychological impairments, pre-existing sciatica and scoliosis, and chronic pain.

The Tribunal found insufficient medical evidence to support removal from the MIG, preferring the respondent's assessments which aligned with the family physician's clinical notes.

The application for treatment plans, interest, and a special award was dismissed.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motorcycle accident.

The respondent denied benefits, arguing the applicant's policy was cancelled prior to the accident and he was excluded under s. 31(1)(a)(i) of the Schedule for driving without insurance.

The Tribunal found the respondent validly terminated the policy by registered mail and the applicant ought reasonably to have known he was uninsured.

Furthermore, the Tribunal dismissed the applicant's claims for various medical benefits and treatment plans, finding the applicant failed to provide sufficient medical evidence to prove the plans were reasonable and necessary.
