Application for accident benefits dismissed; injuries found to be predominantly minor and subject to MIG.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, arguing that his injuries fell outside the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) due to chronic pain.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove he suffered from chronic pain causing functional impairment as a result of the accident, noting a lack of persistent pain reports to his family doctor and a subsequent workplace injury.
The Tribunal concluded the applicant's injuries were predominantly minor and subject to the $3,500 MIG limit, dismissing his claims for disputed treatment plans and interest.
