The claimant sought removal from the MIG, entitlement to attendant care benefits, and various medical benefits. Adjudicator Reilly concluded that the claimant’s injuries were predominantly minor. She held that there was no evidence that pre-existing high blood pressure would prevent maximal recovery under the MIG; that the claimant did not suffer a psychological disorder; that he did not display symptoms of post-concussive injuries; and did not suffer chronic pain syndrome. She noted that the claimant had not made complaints about most of these alleged conditions to his family physician, and he had returned to work on a full time basis within a few months of the accident. Finally, Adjudicator Reilly noted that while a subsequent accident may have cause non-minor injuries, the claimant had not proven that “but for” the subject accident he suffered a non-minor injury.
