Ratzlaff v. Friedeman Service Store

The opinion of the court was delivered by In this workmen's compensation case, the claimant-appellant sought recovery of benefits for two different accidental injuries. One injury was alleged to have occurred to his cervical spine on November 17, 1962, and the other was alleged to have occurred to his low back on February 1, 1963. It was stipulated by all the parties that the claimant did suffer an accidental injury to his back on February 1, 1963, for which he was awarded temporary total disability compensation. No question is presented in this appeal concerning that award of compensation. The sole issue presented is whether the claimant suffered an alleged accidental injury to his cervical spine on November 17, 1962. The district court found that the claimant ""did not sustain an injury on or about November 17, 1962, to the cervical spine""; hence, this appeal.
