The applicant sought non-earner benefits and a determination that his injuries fell outside the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) following a 2019 motor vehicle accident.
The Tribunal found it lacked jurisdiction to determine MIG status as a standalone issue without an underlying dispute over medical or rehabilitation benefits.
On the substantive claim, the Tribunal dismissed the application for non-earner benefits, finding the applicant failed to provide sufficient evidence comparing his pre- and post-accident activities or objective medical evidence demonstrating a complete inability to carry on a normal life.
The Tribunal also rejected the applicant's argument that the insurer failed to comply with procedural notice requirements under s. 36(4) of the Schedule, noting the applicant failed to provide requested medical documentation.
Claims for interest and an award were consequently dismissed.
