Workmen's Compensation--"Arising Out Of Employment"--Death Resulting From Voluntarily Arranged Fight, John F. O'Connor S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

On the first day of his employment as a messenger boy, in the course of being instructed in his duties and shown over his route, the deceased met a fellow employee with whom he voluntarily arranged a fight. There was evidence that the fight was induced by the fellow employee's braggadocio as to his pugilistic ability which culminated in a challenge to the deceased. The encounter took place on a public street. The deceased sustained injuries therefrom which aggravated an existing infirmity and caused his death. From an award of death benefits by the Workmen's Compensation Board, the employer appealed. …

Workmen's Compensation-Previous Impaired Condition As Affecting Basis Of Compensation-Special Fund, Eugene F. Lattin Jun 1946

Workmen's Compensation-Previous Impaired Condition As Affecting Basis Of Compensation-Special Fund, Eugene F. Lattin

Michigan Law Review

Claimant suffered accidental injury to his left hand, for which he received compensation. Later he sustained additional injuries to head, ears, left and right hands, and thereby became totally disabled. The State Industrial Commission found that claimant was 75 per cent disabled by reason of the later injury alone. Held, under Oklahoma Workmen's Compensation Law, employer is liable for the degree of disability which would have resulted had there been no previous injury. The Special Indemnity Fund is liable for payment of the balance of the total disability. Special Indemnity Fund v. Wood, 195 Okla. 357, 157 P. …

Washington Workmen's Compensation: The Duplicate Task Of Commission And Courts In Hearing Appeals Upon The Facts, M. Bayard Crutcher

Washington Law Review

There are few instances in the law when a litigant can appeal to three successive tribunals upon findings of fact alone, and obtain a complete rehearing in each of them Such is the anomalous procedure permitted in cases arising under our Industrial Insurance Act. That, and the provision for a jury sitting on the second appeal, may help to explain the frequency with which "Blank v Department of Labor and Industries" appears in our advance sheets.


Workmen's Compensation In Washington—Truly Liability Without Fault, E. B. Mcgovern Jul 1945

Workmen's Compensation In Washington—Truly Liability Without Fault, E. B. Mcgovern

Washington Law Review

The turn of the century witnessed the commencement of a great movement, in the United States, of social and economic legislative reform. In their obedience to the people's will, state legislatures bent to the task of eliminating what were then, and still are, viewed as evils too long existent. It was in the field of labor-capital relations that our legislatures early found matter for profound consideration. European nations, following enactment of the first compensation law in Germany in 1884, had emphasized one social and economic evil—the unfortunate plight of the workingman, injured in the course of his employment, who had …

The Twilight Zone—A New Theory Of Compensation For Maritime Workers, Frank C. Latcham

Washington Law Review

Petitioner's husband, a structural steel worker, was drowned in the Snohomish river while employed by an engineering company engaged in dismantling a drawbridge which spanned the river. The company was a contributor to the Workmen's Compensation Fund of the State of Washington. A part of the task was to cut steel from the bridge and move it about 250 feet away for storage. The steel when cut from the bridge was lowered to a barge by derrick, and when loaded, the barge was to be towed by a tug, hauled by cable, or, if the current made it necessary, both …

Administrative Law - Extent To Which Hearsay Evidence May Constitute Basis For Award By Workmen's Compensation Commission, Mary Jane Morris

Michigan Law Review

Claimant suffered a coronary occlusion and as a result was totally disabled, being unable to speak coherently or to understand what was said to him. The State Industrial Board found that the claimant's total disability was the result of accidental injuries which arose out of and in the course of his employment. An award was made. The claimant was incapable of giving testimony and no witness was produced who saw the accident. The referee who heard the claim admitted hearsay testimony to the effect that claimant complained of a heartburn to fellow employees after having lifted and emptied a boiler …

In this proceeding the widow appealed on writ of …

Workmen's Compensation - Injuries "Arising Out Of And In The Course Of Employment'', Brooks F. Crabtree

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, an employee in defendant's mill, helped to organize a baseball team among defendant's employees. The defendant furnished the initial equipment for the team at a cost of approximately $450, but thereafter had little to do with controlling its policy or management. Defendant's employees were given no additional compensation or privileges for playing on the team; practice sessions were held after working hours; and all ball games were scheduled on Sundays. Plaintiff was injured in an automobile accident while returning from one of the Sunday games and sued for compensation under the state workmen's compensation act for injuries "arising out …
