Texas Employers' Ins. Ass'n v. Hunter

CRAMER, Justice.

Joe Hunter on his appeal from the Board’s award in a Workmen’s Compensation case, in addition to jurisdictional and formal matters alleged he was totally and permanently disabled as a result of an accidental injury to his back on or about April 3, 1951 while in the course of his employment as a smelter man with Model Brass Company, and, as he bent over and was picking up a mold weighing 125 to 150 lbs., “something pulled loose in my back.” He claimed total and permanent disability, and sought recovery in a lump sum.
