Application for accident benefits dismissed; applicant failed to establish grounds for removal from Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the benefits, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant sought removal from the MIG on the basis of psychological impairment, chronic pain, and pre-existing conditions.
The Tribunal found the applicant failed to establish a psychological impairment, preferring the respondent's psychological assessment over the applicant's pre-screening report.
The Tribunal also found insufficient evidence of accident-related chronic pain or that pre-existing conditions prevented recovery within the MIG.
The application for disputed treatment plans and interest was dismissed.
