The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought medical and rehabilitation benefits beyond the $3,500 Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) cap, arguing that she suffered from chronic pain and chronic pain syndrome.
The respondent denied the treatment plans on the basis that the injuries were predominantly minor.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to establish a diagnosis of chronic pain or any functional impairment that caused an adverse effect on her well-being, noting she returned to work shortly after the accident and continued her regular duties.
The Tribunal concluded the applicant's injuries fell within the MIG and dismissed the application for additional benefits.
