G.T. Harvey Company v. Steele

1 This is an original proceeding in this court brought by G.T. Harvey Company, employer, and its insurance carrier, petitioners, to obtain a review of an award of the State Industrial Commission in favor of James M. Steele, respondent, hereinafter called claimant, finding that claimant sustained an accidental personal injury to his back arising out of and in the course of his hazardous employment with petitioner Harvey, and ordering petitioners to pay to claimant temporary total disability compensation and to furnish such medical attention as may be necessary. Claimant was a traveling salesman who did not perform manual or mechanical duties. It was stipulated, however, that his employment was scheduled for the computation of premiums on Workmens Compensation Insurance, so that petitioner is estopped to deny that claimant was engaged in a hazardous activity at the time of the alleged injury.
