Application for accident benefits dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the benefits on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant argued that pre-existing conditions and psychological impairments warranted removal from the MIG.
The Tribunal found insufficient evidence of a pre-existing condition affecting recovery and gave little weight to the applicant's psychological report due to inconsistencies with the family physician's contemporaneous records.
The application was dismissed, and the disputed treatment plans and interest were denied.
