The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent insurer denied several treatment plans, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant contended that pre-existing hypertension, chronic pain, and psychological impairments warranted removal from the MIG.
The Tribunal found that the applicant's physical injuries were predominantly minor and that his pre-existing condition did not prevent maximal recovery.
The Tribunal rejected the applicant's chronic pain and psychological claims, noting a lack of corroborating evidence in the family physician's records and assigning little weight to the applicant's expert reports.
As the MIG limit of $3,500 had been exhausted, the application for further treatment plans, interest, and an award for unreasonable delay was dismissed.
