The insurer appealed the Tribunal’s decision that the claimant was entitled to an attendant care assessment due to having pre-existing conditions, despite suffering only minor injuries. The insurer argued that the minor injury bar still applied to attendant care benefits and assessments for persons with pre-existing conditions who were not subject to the $3,500 MIG limit. The Court dismissed the appeal, holding that the Tribunal correctly determined that a person with pre-existing conditions could receive attendant care benefits and an assessment. The insurer’s argument was held to be too focused on single words and phrases in the SABS, rather than focusing on the entire structure of the SABS.
