Category: Minor Injury Guideline

The claimant sought medical benefits outside of the MIG. Vice Chair Flude considered the list of injuries the claimant claimed to have sustained in the accident. He held that there was no evidence provided linking the injuries to the accident, or to show that the injuries did not fall under any of the “minor injury” elements. He concluded that the claimant’s injuries were predominantly minor injuries.

The claimant sought removal from the MIG, and entitlement to a treatment plan for physical therapy. Adjudicator Theoharis concluded that the claimant had sustained a “minor injury” and did not suffer a pre-existing condition that would prevent him from being treated under the $3,500 limit. The claimed treatment plan was denied.
