Hamm v. Hudson Industries, Inc.

This is a workmen's compensation case.

In September 1985, Gary Hamm filed a complaint against his former employer, Hudson Industries, Inc., and Underwriter Adjusting Company, seeking workmen's compensation benefits for a job-related hernia allegedly sustained on February 19, 1985. This complaint was later amended to reflect the date of occurrence as February 15, 1985. The trial court denied any benefits to the claimant. His motion for new trial was also denied.

On appeal, the claimant first argues that the trial judge's decision is unsupported by the evidence.
