Application for accident benefits dismissed; applicant failed to prove injuries warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, arguing his injuries warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) due to chronic pain, psychological impairments, and pre-existing conditions.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide compelling medical evidence to support removal from the MIG.
The Tribunal preferred the respondent's medical assessments, which concluded the physical injuries were soft tissue in nature and that there was no psychological impairment.
Consequently, the applicant was not entitled to the disputed treatment plans, interest, or an award.
