Harnischfeger Corp. v. Industrial Commission

There are three incidents which are involved in this case: (1) The 1937 compensable accident when Wick-man fractured his left leg; (2) the 1942 accident when Wick-man fractured his leg in an automobile accident while on a fishing trip; and (3) the 1946 incident when Wickman sustained a spontaneous or pathological fracture of his left leg.
