The claimant sought reconsideration of the Tribunal’s decision that he did not suffer a catastrophic impairment, and that his injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline. He argued that the Tribunal acted outside of its jurisdiction or violated rules of procedural fairness. Vice Chair Maedel found no error on the part of the Tribunal. The adjudicator considered all the evidence before the Tribunal. There were no expert reports in support of the claimant’s position that he sustained a 55 percent Whole Person Impairment. The Tribunal was entitled to accept the position of the insurer’s assessors that the claimant did not suffer a catastrophic impairment, and that the claimant did not suffer from a pre-existing condition that would prevent maximal recovery under the MIG.
