Mental And Nervous Injury In Workmen's Compensation, Arthur Larson Nov 1970

Mental And Nervous Injury In Workmen's Compensation, Arthur Larson

Vanderbilt Law Review

"[H]ow could it be real when. . .it was purely mental?" This poignant judicial cry out of the past, which I occasionally quote to put down my psychiatrist friends, contains the clue to almost all of the trouble that has attended the development of workmen's compensation law related to mental and nervous injuries. This equation of "mental" with "unreal," or imaginary, or phoney, is so ingrained that it has achieved a firm place in our idiomatic language. Who has not at some time, in dismissing a physical complaint of some suffering friend or relative, airily waved the complaint aside by …

The Case For A Seagoing Workmen's Compensation Act, Parker B. Smith Jan 1970

The Case For A Seagoing Workmen's Compensation Act, Parker B. Smith

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

At the present time no comprehensive workmen's compensation statute exists to provide coverage for seamen injured in the course of their employment. The seaman's only existing remedies consist of an action for maintenance and cure, an action for breach of the shipowner's warranty of seaworthiness, and an action for negligence under the Jones Act. These remedies offer unsatisfactory protection to the seaman for several reasons. Under the existing remedies the seaman may be unable to obtain any recovery because the shipowner has the traditional right to "limit liability" to the seaman at the outset of the seaman's action for recovery. …


Positional Risk, Forces Of Nature, And Workmen's Compensation, Thomas Parker Hayes Jan 1970

Positional Risk, Forces Of Nature, And Workmen's Compensation, Thomas Parker Hayes

Cleveland State Law Review

The Ohio courts, in their interpretation of the Workmen's Compensation Law, have attempted to establish clear-cut principles of compensability for the working man when his on-the-job injuries are caused by the forces of nature and acts of God. However, the attempts of the courts to establish rules of compensability fail to provide predictability and consistency. The principles proposed are inadequate to cover all the situations that may arise.


Workmen's Compensation And The Scholarship Athlete, Sheldon Elliot Steinbach Jan 1970

Workmen's Compensation And The Scholarship Athlete, Sheldon Elliot Steinbach

Cleveland State Law Review

Workmen's Compensation law is a law of a remedial nature and is liberally construed in all states. In order to avoid the impact of Van Horn and Nemeth, the schools must eliminate any contractual relationship which provides for the rewarding or renewal of scholarship aid only so long as the student plays on the team. If this proviso is eliminated from scholarship awards, the athlete's participation can be characterized under the law as voluntary or merely gratuitous, thereby avoiding the effect of the Workmen's Compensation Act. Should institutions of higher education persist in retaining a contractual employment relationship with their …
