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

The applicant argued for removal from the MIG based on musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, and psychological impairments, seeking approval for various treatment plans and assessments.

The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide compelling medical evidence to substantiate his claims, noting that his medical records sparsely mentioned the accident and lacked evidence of functional impairment or psychological complaints.

The Tribunal concluded the injuries were minor, dismissed the claims for treatment plans outside the MIG, and denied interest.
