Application for non-earner and medical benefits dismissed; injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits, including a non-earner benefit and medical/examination benefits outside the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide sufficient evidence comparing his pre- and post-accident activities to establish a complete inability to carry on a normal life.
Furthermore, the Tribunal concluded that the applicant's injuries were predominantly minor and that there was no compelling evidence of a pre-existing heart or back condition that would prevent his recovery within the $3,500 MIG limit.
The application was dismissed.
