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

The respondent denied certain treatment plans on the basis that the applicant's impairments fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The applicant argued he was removed from the MIG due to a neurological impairment (sciatica) and a psychological impairment.

The Tribunal found insufficient evidence to support a concussion, sciatica, or a psychological impairment caused by the accident, preferring the respondent's insurer examination reports over the applicant's evidence.

The Tribunal concluded the applicant sustained a minor injury, and because the $3,500 MIG limit was exhausted, the disputed treatment plans and interest were denied.
