Applicant v. Certas Direct Insurance Company (17-005290)

The claimant sought removal from the MIG and entitlement to three medical benefits. Adjudicator Parish concluded that the claimant’s injuries fell within the MIG. She held that the claimant did not suffer psychological injuries or chronic pain. She noted that the claimant’s assessors did not adequately consider objective findings and relied upon subjective reporting without appropriate testing. Further, the chronic pain assessor did not connect the claimant’s reported impairments to the accident. Finally, there was very little reporting to the family doctor regarding pain complaints.
