Applicant v. Aviva General Insurance (17-003539)

The claimant sought removal from the MIG and three medical benefits. Adjudicator Norris held that the claimant’s partial rotator cuff tear was an injury that fell within the MIG, and that the claimant’s pre-accident reports of back pain did not constitute pre-existing injuries that would prevent recovery under the MIG. He also concluded that the claimant had failed to prove that he suffered from chronic pain syndrome or psychological impairments as a result of the accident. All claims were dismissed.
