Application for accident benefits dismissed; injuries found to be predominantly minor and subject to MIG.
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 claimed removal from the MIG based on psychological impairment and chronic pain.
The Tribunal found the applicant failed to prove on a balance of probabilities that he suffered from a psychological impairment or chronic pain with functional impairment caused by the accident.
The medical evidence indicated soft tissue injuries and the applicant maintained an active lifestyle.
The application was dismissed, and the applicant was not entitled to the disputed treatment plans, an award, or interest.
