The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming physical and psychological impairments that warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and entitlement to a non-earner benefit, a treatment plan, and an award for unreasonable delay.

The respondent denied the benefits, relying on section 44 assessments.

The Tribunal found that the applicant's physical injuries were predominantly minor sprains and strains, and that his knee pain and psychological issues were pre-existing and not aggravated by the accident.

The Tribunal concluded the applicant did not suffer a complete inability to carry on a normal life and remained subject to the MIG.

The application was dismissed in its entirety.
