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

The Tribunal found that the Applicant's injuries were predominantly minor and subject to the $3,500 Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) limit, as he failed to establish chronic pain with functional impairment or a psychological impairment warranting removal.

Although subject to the MIG, the Tribunal ordered the Respondent to pay for a $4,959.75 psychological treatment plan because the Respondent failed to comply with the notice requirements under s. 38(8) of the Schedule.

Claims for other treatment plans and a special award were dismissed.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including treatment plans for psychological services, a neurological assessment, and physiotherapy.

The Tribunal found the applicant partially entitled to the psychological services treatment plan for counselling sessions, but denied the in-car driving reintegration therapy, preferring the respondent's psychological assessment that the applicant did not suffer from a severe driving phobia.

The claims for a neurological assessment and physiotherapy were dismissed due to a lack of supporting medical evidence.

The applicant's request for an award under s. 10 of Regulation 664 was denied, but interest was awarded on the overdue psychological counselling benefits.
