Applicant's claim for removal from the Minor Injury Guideline dismissed due to insufficient medical evidence of chronic pain.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming his injuries warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) due to chronic pain.
The Tribunal found the applicant's medical evidence unconvincing and inconsistent with his treating physicians' records, which showed minimal complaints of pain.
The Tribunal preferred the respondent's physiatry assessment, concluding the applicant suffered minor sprain/strain injuries.
The applicant was not removed from the MIG and his claims for a chronic pain assessment, physiotherapy, and interest were dismissed.
