Application for accident benefits dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the benefits on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant argued he should be removed from the MIG due to chronic pain, psychological impairments, and pre-existing conditions.
The Tribunal found that the applicant's evidence, including expert reports, was inconsistent with his family doctor's clinical notes and his return to work as an Uber driver.
The Tribunal preferred the respondent's section 44 assessments, concluding the applicant's injuries were predominantly minor.
The application for benefits and interest was dismissed.
