Applicant's spine impairments and chronic pain warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The insurer denied funding for physiotherapy and medical expenses, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Tribunal found that the applicant's spine impairments, including disc bulges and an annular tear, as well as chronic pain with functional impairment, placed him outside the MIG.
The Tribunal ordered the insurer to pay the disputed treatment plan, medical expenses, and interest on the overdue amounts.
