Applicant v. Travelers (17-001522)

The claimant sought removal from the MIG and entitlement to three medical benefits. Adjudicator Ferguson held that the claimant’s injuries fell within the MIG. He was critical of the claimant’s asserted accident-related injuries, which contradicted evidence in the WSIB file which showed pre-existing complaints of the same nature. Adjudicator Ferguson also held that the insurer’s denials complied with section 38 of the SABS.
