The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a 2017 motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the benefits, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and the $3,500 limit was exhausted.
The applicant argued for removal from the MIG based on chronic pain and psychological impairments.
The Tribunal found insufficient evidence of chronic pain, noting the lack of a diagnosis or evidence meeting the AMA Guides criteria.
The Tribunal also gave no weight to the applicant's psychological assessment, as it was conducted by a social worker rather than the signing psychologist.
Relying on the respondent's section 44 assessments, the Tribunal concluded the applicant did not suffer a clinically significant psychological impairment.
The application was dismissed, and claims for treatment plans, an award, and interest were denied.
