Dr. Arthur Shuster

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 sought removal from the MIG based on a psychological impairment, specifically PTSD.

The Tribunal found that the applicant provided insufficient objective medical evidence to support a psychological impairment, noting that his family physician records lacked psychological complaints for over two years post-accident and the psychiatric report relied solely on subjective reporting despite a normal mental status exam.

Consequently, the applicant was not removed from the MIG, and the disputed treatment plans and interest were denied.

The application was dismissed.
