The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits.
The respondent insurer denied a treatment plan for a chronic pain assessment, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Tribunal found the applicant established he suffers from chronic pain with functional impairments, warranting removal from the MIG.
The Tribunal ordered the respondent to pay $2,460.00 for the chronic pain assessment and interest on overdue benefits, but denied the applicant's request for a special award under s. 10 of Regulation 664.
