Radiation Injuries And Time Limitations In Workmen's Compensation Cases, Samuel D. Estep, Walter R. Allan
Radiation Injuries And Time Limitations In Workmen's Compensation Cases, Samuel D. Estep, Walter R. Allan
Michigan Law Review
The increasing use of radioactive materials and radiation-producing devices in industry and elsewhere makes it clear that injuries from exposure to radiation must be anticipated. It becomes relevant, therefore, to inquire into the extent to which the present workmen's compensation statutes will be able to cope with the injuries which may arise from the use of this new source of energy.

Torts-Negligent Misrepresentation-Abolition Of The Privity Requirement, Leon E. Irish
Michigan Law Review
Defendants, professional consulting engineers, contracted with the city of Chattanooga to design a sewage system. As part of their performance of the contract they prepared a report of geological conditions which was to be distributed by the city to prospective bidders. Plaintiff, a tunneling subcontractor, had no dealings with the defendants, but did rely on their report in making its bid. Because one of defendant's draftsmen carelessly omitted pertinent geological information from the report, it took plaintiff three weeks longer to complete the work than had been anticipated. Plaintiff sued defendant for damages for misrepresentation; held, plaintiff may recover. …

Some Recent Developments In The Substantive Law Of Workmen's Compensation, Wex S. Malone
Some Recent Developments In The Substantive Law Of Workmen's Compensation, Wex S. Malone
Vanderbilt Law Review
After setting out the factors which make for change in the compensation structure, the author goes on to discuss three problem areas in which that change is clearly visible: distinguishing between employees and independent contractors, determining tho rights of a borrowed employee, and deciding whether an accident arose out of the employment. He concludes that the law of workmen's compensation is developing in consonance with the social philosophy which underlies it.

Torts—Assumption Of Risk, Virginia A. Oldow
Torts—Assumption Of Risk, Virginia A. Oldow
Washington Law Review
In Siragusa v. Swedish Hospital the Washington Supreme Court abolished the assumption of risk defense in suits brought by employees against their employers. Overruling prior decisions that were inconsistent, the court held that an employer has a duty to exercise reasonable care to provide his employees with a reasonably safe place to work, and may not assert as a defense to an action based on his breach of that duty, that the injured employee was aware or should have known of the negligently maintained condition. The court adopted the position of the Missouri and North Carolina courts that the employee …

Torts—Recovery For Intentional Infliction Of Emotional Injury, Gust S. Doces
Torts—Recovery For Intentional Infliction Of Emotional Injury, Gust S. Doces
Washington Law Review
Until recently, a plaintiff who had suffered emotional injury normally had to show an accompanying physical harm in order to maintain a successful action for damages. His ability to recover for severe emotional distress unaccompanied by physical injury is being recognized by an increasing number of jurisdictions. The current situation is marked by the unsettled nature of the law. Reluctance to grant relief for such an injury has been based upon a desire to avoid not only fictitious claims, but also the litigation of trivialities and bad manners. However, even before this change in attitude by the courts, if some …

Torts—Monopoly—Medical Services, Ralph L. Hawkins
Torts—Monopoly—Medical Services, Ralph L. Hawkins
Washington Law Review
Washington has been recognized as one of the leading state jurisdictions in which a private organization or party may acquire relief from monopolistic practices of voluntary medical associations. A recent case seems to broaden the available grounds upon which such associations may be subjected to liability. The case also appears to provide some guides for the interpretation of the recently enacted Consumer Protection Act.
