The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits, including a non-earner benefit, chiropractic services, and a psychological assessment.
The respondent denied the medical and assessment benefits on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant's injuries were predominantly soft tissue injuries falling within the MIG, and that he failed to prove pre-existing conditions or chronic pain that would warrant an exception.
The Tribunal also dismissed the claim for a non-earner benefit, finding insufficient evidence that the applicant suffered a complete inability to carry on a normal life.
The claims for chiropractic services and a psychological assessment were dismissed as not reasonable and necessary.
