The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, arguing his injuries warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) due to chronic pain.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant failed to meet the burden of proving his injuries fell outside the MIG, noting that the medical evidence, including insurer examinations, supported a diagnosis of soft tissue injuries with no significant functional limitations.
As the $3,500 MIG limit had been exhausted, the applicant's claims for additional chiropractic and psychological treatment plans were denied.
Claims for interest and an award for unreasonable delay were also dismissed.
