Application for accident benefits dismissed; injuries found to be minor and subject to the MIG.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming entitlement to physiotherapy, a chronic pain assessment, and a psychological assessment outside the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The respondent denied the benefits, arguing the injuries were predominantly minor.
The Tribunal found that the applicant's physical injuries were mechanical and myofascial in nature, and his psychological symptoms were minimal and below average.
The Tribunal also found no compelling medical evidence that the applicant's pre-existing seizure disorder precluded recovery within the MIG.
The application was dismissed, and the applicant was held to the MIG limits.
