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 based on chronic pain and psychological impairment.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide sufficient medical evidence to meet the AMA Guides criteria for chronic pain or to establish a formal psychological diagnosis beyond minor injury sequelae.
The application was dismissed, and the applicant was held to the $3,500 MIG limit.
