Riley v. Cimarron-Empire Construction Company

DAVISON, Justice.

This is an original proceeding to review an order of the State Industrial Court en banc denying the claim of Earl A. Riley, Jr., for compensation for disability resulting from a cardiac condition assertedly produced by work induced strain. The respondents have resisted the claim denying liability on the theory that the claimant did not sustain an accidental injury within the purview of the Workmen’s Compensation Law and that the physical condition of the claimant was not the result of any accidental injury sustained while engaged in hazardous employment by the respondent.
