D.P.V. The Co-operators (19-000079)

The claimant sought a determination that his impairments were outside of the MIG and entitlement to medical benefits for two chiropractic treatment plans. The claimant argued that he suffered from pre-existing lower back pain which was exacerbated as a result of the accident and would prevent him from reaching maximum recovery if his benefits were limited to the MIG. He also argued that his accident-related injuries were not predominantly minor injuries. Adjudicator Maleki-Yazdi found that the claimant sustained predominantly minor injuries and his pre-existing injuries did not prevent maximal medical recovery to remove him from the MIG.
