Application for accident benefits dismissed; applicant failed to prove injuries warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming chronic pain and psychological impairments warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found the applicant's medical evidence, including clinical notes and records, did not support functional impairment or a psychological condition caused by the accident.
The Tribunal placed little weight on the applicant's expert reports due to inconsistencies and experts opining outside their areas of expertise.
The application was dismissed, and the applicant remained subject to the MIG limits.
