The applicant was involved in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits.
The respondent denied several treatment plans on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant applied to the Licence Appeal Tribunal, arguing that physical injuries, psychological impairments, and chronic pain warranted removal from the MIG.
The Tribunal found that the applicant's physical injuries were sprains and strains, the psychological claims lacked a formal diagnosis, and the chronic pain claims were unsupported by evidence of functional impairment.
As the $3,500 MIG limit had been exhausted, the application for the disputed treatment plans and interest was dismissed.
