The applicant was a pedestrian whose foot was driven over by a vehicle.

He sought accident benefits, which the respondent denied on the basis that his injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The applicant argued he sustained a psychological impairment warranting removal from the MIG.

The Tribunal found the applicant's physical injuries were minor and preferred the respondent's psychological assessment, which found no accident-related psychological impairment.

The application was dismissed, and the requested psychological assessment and interest were denied.

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

The insurer denied several treatment plans on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The applicant argued she sustained a psychological impairment and bilateral psoas bursitis warranting removal from the MIG.

The Tribunal preferred the insurer's psychological assessment, finding the applicant's evidence inconsistent and insufficient to establish a psychological impairment.

The Tribunal also found the physical diagnoses were not accident-related.

The application was dismissed as the MIG limits were exhausted.
