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 Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant suffered predominantly soft tissue injuries and failed to provide compelling medical evidence of chronic pain or psychological impairment warranting removal from the MIG.

The tribunal noted the applicant's self-reported psychological symptoms were contradicted by social media evidence showing him performing as a reggae singer.

The application for disputed treatment plans, an award for unreasonable delay, and interest was dismissed.
