Application for accident benefits dismissed as applicant failed to prove psychological injuries warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming removal from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) due to psychological injuries, specifically Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Adjustment Disorder.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to establish on a balance of probabilities that his psychological injuries were caused by the accident, noting contradictions in his self-reporting regarding pre-accident mental health symptomology.
Consequently, the applicant's injuries were deemed predominantly minor and subject to the $3,500 MIG limit.
The claims for disputed treatment plans, assessments, and interest were dismissed.
