The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, disputing the respondent's determination that his injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The applicant claimed entitlement to treatment plans for psychological services and chronic pain assessments, arguing that psychological impairments and chronic pain warranted removal from the MIG.

The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to establish on a balance of probabilities that he suffered from a psychological condition or chronic pain with functional impairment that would preclude recovery within the MIG limits.

Relying on the respondent's psychiatric and physical assessments, the Tribunal concluded the applicant's injuries were predominantly minor.

The application for the disputed treatment plans and interest was dismissed.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming entitlement to income replacement benefits (IRBs) and removal from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) due to chronic pain and pre-existing conditions.

The Tribunal found that the applicant's pre-accident role as a religious school organizer was administrative and his soft tissue injuries did not cause a substantial inability to perform his essential tasks, denying the IRB claim.

Furthermore, the Tribunal held that the applicant failed to prove a pre-existing condition or chronic pain syndrome with functional impairment that would warrant removal from the MIG.

The application was dismissed, and the applicant was limited to the $3,500 MIG treatment cap.
