Application for accident benefits dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the benefits, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant argued for removal from the MIG on the basis of chronic pain.
The Tribunal found the applicant failed to provide sufficient medical evidence demonstrating functional impairment or disability to support a chronic pain diagnosis.
Consequently, the applicant's injuries were deemed predominantly minor, and the claims for a $1,908.72 chiropractic treatment plan, an award, and interest were dismissed.
