Application for accident benefits dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline limits.
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 argued for removal from the MIG based on pre-existing conditions, chronic pain, and psychological impairments.
The Tribunal found the applicant failed to establish that his pre-existing back issues prevented maximal recovery within the MIG, or that he suffered from chronic pain or psychological impairments caused by the accident.
As the MIG limits were exhausted, the claims for additional treatment plans, assessments, and interest were dismissed.
