Fidelity & Casualty Co. v. Mitchell

This appeal is from a judgment for appellee in an action under the Workmens Compensation Laws of Texas, Vernons Ann. Civ. St. art. 8306 et seq. Appellant, the employers compensation insurance carrier, assigns errors that may be grouped into three issues, namely: (1) Were the injuries sustained in the course of employment? (2) Was the judgment excessive in that it excessded the maximum asward under the statute for specific in juries as distinguished from general injuries? (3) Were the special interrogatories submitted to the jury so vague and indefinite, or so incomplete, that the judgment of the court could not be legally rested upon the answers thereto?
