The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits.
The respondent denied the claims on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant argued that a flap tear in his knee and a pre-existing condition removed him from the MIG.
The Tribunal found that a flap tear is a partial tear and falls within the definition of a minor injury.
The Tribunal also found no compelling evidence that the applicant's pre-existing condition was worsened by the accident or impeded his recovery.
The Tribunal concluded that the applicant sustained predominantly minor injuries, and since the $3,500 MIG limit was exhausted, the application for further benefits was dismissed.
