The applicant sought statutory accident benefits 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).

The applicant argued she suffered from chronic pain and psychological impairments warranting removal from the MIG.

The Tribunal found insufficient objective medical evidence to support removal from the MIG and concluded the respondent properly denied the treatment plans.

The application was dismissed.

The applicant sought entitlement to various treatment and assessment plans for psychological and chiropractic services following a motor vehicle accident.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application, finding that the applicant failed to prove on a balance of probabilities that the proposed plans were reasonable and necessary.

The Tribunal preferred the evidence of the respondent's section 44 assessors, who concluded that the applicant suffered only minor physical strains and did not meet the criteria for a psychological diagnosis, over the applicant's self-reported complaints and the reports of his treating practitioners.

The applicant requested a reconsideration of a Licence Appeal Tribunal decision which found her injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and denied a treatment plan for a chronic pain assessment.

The applicant argued the Tribunal erred in law by improperly weighing the expert evidence and failing to qualify her expert.

The adjudicator dismissed the reconsideration request, finding no error of law.

The original decision appropriately gave less weight to the applicant's expert report because it lacked an Acknowledgement of Expert's Duty form and the chronic pain diagnosis was unsupported by other medical evidence.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming her injuries warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) due to pre-existing conditions, chronic pain, and psychological impairment.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found the applicant's injuries were predominantly minor and treatable within the MIG, noting a lack of compelling medical evidence to support chronic pain or a psychological impairment caused by the accident.

The application for a chronic pain assessment, an award for unreasonable delay, and interest was dismissed.

The respondent's request for costs was also denied.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, specifically a treatment plan for physiotherapy and interest.

After the applicant's counsel withdrew, the applicant failed to respond to multiple communications from the Tribunal and the respondent, and did not file any submissions for the written hearing.

The Tribunal proceeded in the applicant's absence pursuant to the Statutory Powers Procedure Act.

The application was dismissed as the applicant failed to meet his evidentiary burden to establish entitlement to the claimed benefits.
