The Uncompensated Industrial Injury, Stanley Law Sabel Apr 1938

The Uncompensated Industrial Injury, Stanley Law Sabel

Michigan Law Review

Workmen's compensation laws as means by which industry shares part of the burden of the human toll incident to the cost of production are reaching the maturity of their development. The adoption of such laws has been wide; all but two states in the union now have some provision by which employees engaged in most lines of work are compensated without regard to fault for injuries caused by their work.

Workmen's Compensation - Definition Of Employee - Relief Worker, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

An unemployed workman applied to a local relief committee, and received a work order on defendant city, based upon his needs and the number of his dependents. Payment was in scrip, which was accepted by merchants, who were later paid out of funds appropriated by the state and federal governments. The man was put to work on a "made work" project which was under the supervision and control of the city officials. The work was necessary and proper to be undertaken by the city. While so engaged, he was injured, and brought an action to recover compensation. Held, that …

Evidence - Exceptions To Hearsay Rule - Physician's Testimony As To Statements Of Symptoms Made By Patient, Benjamin H. Dewey

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, while in the employ of the defendant, was injured when a ditch he was engaged in digging caved in upon him. Defendant alleged that the shock made active theretofore dormant pulmonary tuberculosis. He received treatment from a physician at the time of the injury. Upon plaintiff's suit under the Texas Workmen's Compensation Act, the physician was allowed to testify, over defendant's objection, that about a month and a half after the injury, the plaintiff had come to the physician's office, and reported that his sputum was stained with blood. On appeal, it was held, one judge dissenting, that …

Attorney And Client - Unlawful Practice Before Industrial Commission In Workmen's Compensation Proceedings, Charles R. Moon Jr. Jan 1937

Attorney And Client - Unlawful Practice Before Industrial Commission In Workmen's Compensation Proceedings, Charles R. Moon Jr.

Michigan Law Review

In forty-four states of the Union and in Alaska, Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippine Islands there are workmen's compensation acts. A great majority of these acts provide for a board or commission to settle all disputes as to compensation. Practice before these boards and commissions has become a large share of the business of many lawyers and of many law firms. To them, in particular, and to the legal profession, in general, the question raised in the recent case of Goodman v. Beall is of considerable interest. In this case, suit was brought by a committee of the Ohio …


Workmen's Compensation-Burden Of Proof Of Cause Of Accident- Presumptions, Michigan Law Review Dec 1936

Workmen's Compensation-Burden Of Proof Of Cause Of Accident- Presumptions, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Decedent, who was an employee of respondent, was found dead in respondent's store with a rope around his neck and legs. The doctor found that death was caused by asphyxiation by hanging. The deputy commissioner held that petitioner had not sustained the burden of proving that decedent met with an "accident arising out of and in the course of" employment, and that the mere finding of the body of an employee on the premises of an employer will not alone raise a presumption that there was an "accident arising out of and in the course of" the employment. Dietz v. …

Administrative Law-Operation Of Federal Statute Creating Presumption Against Suicide In Compensation Cases

Michigan Law Review

A carpenter making repairs nearby, hearing a sharp report followed by groans, found plaintiff's husband lying upon the floor. He died without recovering consciousness from a bullet wound through the breast. The pistol to which the fatal bullet was traced lay in a partly closed drawer which was spattered with blood as was the counter near by. The ejected shell lay some feet away in the position where it would be found had the pistol been discharged directly in front of deceased's breast. There were powder burns on his clothes. Contradictory evidence of deceased's mental state was adduced toward the …

Workmen's Compensation-Right Of Dole Employee To Compensation Dec 1933

Workmen's Compensation-Right Of Dole Employee To Compensation

Michigan Law Review

The plaintiff, a citizen on the relief rolls of the defendant city, was put to work in accordance with a scrip relief plan under which persons receiving aid were "required" to work if they were able. They were paid a stipulated amount of script per hour, which was exchangeable for goods at the city store. The plaintiff was injured while using a wheelbarrow in line of duty in so working in the city park, and claimed the right to workmen's compensation under the statute as an employee of the city. The court held, by a five-to-three division, that the …

Workmen's Compensation - Dependents - Children Born After The Injury Feb 1933

Workmen's Compensation - Dependents - Children Born After The Injury

Michigan Law Review

A proceeding was brought under the workmen's compensation act of Virginia by the widow of a deceased employee on behalf of herself and children. Between the date of the injury and death of the employee he became the father of two children for whom compensation is now sought. The Industrial Commission denied them compensation, and in affirming the decision the supreme court held that under the Virginia statutes a person is entitled to compensation only if "dependent at the time of injury," hence the two children are not dependents within the statute and are not entitled to compensation. Hotton, Brown …

Administrative Tribunals -Workmen's Compensation - Scope Of Federal Judicial Review Under Longshoremen's And Harbor Workers' Compensation Act

Michigan Law Review

The recent decision of Crowell v. Benson by the United States Supreme Court throws interesting light on the constitutionality of delegating final fact-finding powers to administrative tribunals. The case arose under the Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act which gives deputy commissioners full authority to hear and determine all questions in respect to claims for compensation for disability or death resulting from injuries occurring on the navigable waters of the United States/ The act further provides that if the compensation order is "not in accordance with law" it "may be suspended or set aside in whole or in part, through …

Infancy-Effect Of Workmen's Compensation Act On Privilege To Disaffirm

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff's decedent, a minor illegally employed, was killed while in the course of employment. As administrator, plaintiff sought to repudiate the award under the Compensation Act. He proceeded with an action at law and obtained a judgment of $20,000. On writ of error, held, judgment reversed without a new trial; the minor, not having elected otherwise, was bound by the terms of the Workmen's Compensation Act. Thomas v.

Workmen's Compensation Acts-Gratuitous Help As Casual Employment

Michigan Law Review

The plaintiff, a farmer living by the side of a public highway, went to the assistance of the defendant's truck driver whose truck was mired on the highway. The driver had been instructed to get help. While pulling out the truck with a tractor the plaintiff was injured. Held, the plaintiff was an employee of the defendant, and as such his remedies under the Workmen's Compensation Act were exclusive. Johnson v. Wisconsin Lumber and Supply Co. (Wis. 1931) 234 N.W. 5o6.


Workmen's Compensation Acts-Single Side Venture As A Business Of The Employer May 1931

Workmen's Compensation Acts-Single Side Venture As A Business Of The Employer

Michigan Law Review

The plaintiffs, whose regular occupation was that of farming, were under a contract to move a house. The claimant, employed by the plaintiffs to assist in the undertaking (it does not appear whether he was regularly employed by them as a farmhand), was injured when a bridge, over which the house was being moved, fell into the river. Held, the injury was not compensable under the Workmen's Compensation Act since the employment was not "in the course of a trade, business, profession, or occupation'' of the employers. Vandervort v. Industrial Commission (Wis. 1931) 234 N.W. 492.
