Applicant v. Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund (17-000665)

The claimant sought removal from the MIG and entitlement to various medical benefits for physical therapy and psychological therapy. Adjudicator Markovits held that the claimant was suffering from an adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood, and that his injuries were therefore non-minor. In terms of the medical benefits sought, Adjudicator Markovits awarded all of the claimed physical therapy and orthopaedic assessment; he denied part of the proposed psychological treatment, a driving re-integration assessment, and a chronic pain assessment.
