The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.

The respondent denied the benefits, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The applicant argued for removal from the MIG based on chronic pain and psychological impairment.

The Tribunal found the applicant did not meet the AMA Guides criteria for chronic pain and that the evidence did not support a psychological impairment.

The Tribunal concluded the applicant's injuries were predominantly minor and he remained subject to the MIG limit.

As the MIG limits were exhausted, the disputed treatment plans were not considered, and claims for interest and an award were dismissed.

The applicant requested a reconsideration of a Licence Appeal Tribunal decision which found her injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline and denied a disputed treatment plan.

The adjudicator dismissed the request for reconsideration because the applicant failed to file any submissions by the required deadline.

The applicant requested a reconsideration of a Licence Appeal Tribunal decision that found his injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The applicant argued the Tribunal erred by failing to consider psychological evidence from Dr. Lotfalizadeh.

The adjudicator granted the reconsideration request, acknowledging the error of failing to address the psychological report.

However, upon reviewing the report, the adjudicator found it insufficient to establish that the applicant's psychological injuries were caused by the accident or warranted removal from the MIG.

The original decision was varied to include this analysis, but the ultimate dismissal of the application remained unchanged.
