Applicant's injuries found to fall within the Minor Injury Guideline; claims for psychological assessment dismissed.
The applicant sought medical and rehabilitation benefits following a motor vehicle accident, arguing his injuries fell outside the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) due to chronic pain, pre-existing injuries, and psychological issues.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant failed to meet the burden of proving his injuries fell outside the MIG.
The medical evidence did not support a finding of chronic pain under the AMA criteria, nor did it establish a significant psychological impairment or that a pre-existing condition prevented maximal recovery.
Consequently, the claims for a psychological assessment, interest, and a special award were dismissed.
