Applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline; claims for concussion and pre-existing condition rejected.
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 for removal from the MIG due to a concussion and a pre-existing back condition.
The Tribunal found insufficient medical evidence to support a concussion diagnosis, noting that the physiotherapists who diagnosed it were not qualified to do so.
The Tribunal also found that the applicant failed to prove his pre-existing back condition precluded his recovery within the MIG limits.
As the applicant's injuries were predominantly minor, he was not entitled to the disputed treatment plans or interest.
