Application for accident benefits dismissed; applicant's unreliable self-reporting undermined expert psychological evidence for MIG removal.
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 claimed psychological impairments, including PTSD and depression, warranted removal from the MIG.
The Tribunal found the applicant's self-reporting to the psychological assessors was inconsistent and unreliable, particularly regarding his pre-existing conditions and post-accident work activities.
Consequently, the Tribunal assigned little weight to the expert psychological reports.
The Tribunal concluded the applicant failed to meet his burden of proof, held that his injuries were predominantly minor, and dismissed the claims for chiropractic and psychological treatment plans.
