California v. Industrial Accident Commission

[151 CalApp2d Page 148] The Industrial Accident Commission found that the decedent Monteverde, an employee of the State of California, had suffered
an industrial injury which added to a preexisting disability, amounted to a total disability in excess of 70 per cent. It
made an award to decedent's minor child, as his sole dependent, against the employer, State of California, for the proportion
of such disability accruing before his death, attributable to the injury incurred in the decedent's employment, and an award
for the balance of the total disability against the Subsequent Injuries Fund. It is the latter award which is attacked in
this proceeding.
