The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the benefits, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant claimed his injuries were outside the MIG due to chronic pain and sought a chronic pain assessment.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to establish a direct connection between his ongoing pain and the accident, noting gaps in medical evidence, intervening injuries, and other health conditions.
The Tribunal concluded the injuries were predominantly minor, the chronic pain assessment was not reasonable and necessary, and dismissed the application.
