Joyce Y. Lyons and Duane & Daniel Lyons V‪.‬

Joyce Lyons and her two minor children filed a claim for workers' compensation benefits as a result of the death of their husband and father, Howard Lyons. The Administrative Law Judge awarded benefits and on appeal to the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission the award was affirmed. On this appeal, the employer and the Second Injury Fund (SIF) contend there was no evidence to support a finding that Howard was killed as a result of an accident which arose out of and in the course of his employment, that exhibits offered by the employer should have been received, and that the SIF is not required to pay death benefits. Affirmed. The evidence consisted primarily of testimony by Joyce Lyons and Forrest Lyons, the father of Howard. Joyce testified that on the afternoon of May 28, 1985, Howard called her from West Point, Mississippi, and told her that he was unloading livestock and was waiting on a load to return home. Howard drove a truck for Lyons Truck Service which at the time of his death was owned by his father and mother. The father and mother were divorced at the time of trial and only Forrest testified.
