Accident benefits denied; injuries fell within Minor Injury Guideline and chronic pain caused by subsequent workplace accidents.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and subsequently suffered two workplace accidents.
He sought medical benefits for orthopaedic, chronic pain, and neurological assessments, as well as psychological treatment, arguing his injuries fell outside the Minor Injury Guideline.
The Tribunal found that the injuries from the motor vehicle accident were predominantly minor soft tissue injuries.
Furthermore, the Tribunal determined that the applicant's chronic pain and psychological impairments were caused by the subsequent workplace accidents, not the motor vehicle accident.
The application for benefits was dismissed.
