Applicant v. Aviva Insurance Company (17-002907)

The claimant sought removal from the MIG and entitlement to four medical benefits. Adjudicator Lester held that the claimant’s disc bulges, degenerative changes, and chronic pain disorder were not minor injuries, and removed the claimant from the MIG. She also awarded the cost of a chronic pain assessment, chronic pain treatment plan, and a psychological assessment. She denied entitlement to an orthopaedic assessment because it was unclear why it was warranted.
