C.A. v. The Dominion of Canada General Insurance Company (16-004033)

The claimant sought further medical benefits and removal from the MIG. Adjudicator Hines concluded that the claimant’s injuries were minor injuries, and rejected the expert opinion of his assessors. Adjudicator Hines was critical of the claimant’s assessors for failing to be provided with full medical documentation, for relying largely upon the claimant’s self-reporting, and for ignoring contradictions. She also noted that the bulk of medical evidence supported a diagnosis of soft tissue injuries, and that the claimant had not sought treatment for over one year.
