Applicant v. Unifund Claims Inc. (17-001129)

The claimant alleged that his injuries were non-minor and that he was entitled to various medical benefits. Adjudicator Ferguson rejected the claimant’s position. He held that the claimant suffered soft tissue injuries in the accident, and was not suffering psychological impairment as a result of the accident. The adjudicator also rejected the claimant’s position that his pre-existing injuries should remove him from the MIG. The adjudicator noted that the claimant’s experts did not provide evidence that the pre-existing injuries would prevent recovery under the MIG.
