Application for accident benefits dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline limits.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the claims, arguing the injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and the $3,500 funding limit was exhausted.
The applicant argued he suffered a psychological impairment outside the MIG.
The Tribunal found the applicant's medical records did not establish a causal link between his psychological symptoms and the accident, and noted his symptoms were improving.
The Tribunal concluded the applicant's injuries were predominantly minor, subject to the MIG limit, and dismissed the application for further medical benefits and interest.
