Sizemore v. Kirkland Timber Co.

Plaintiff alleges that he was employed as a common laborer by the defendant, and that while at work in the course of his employment he was accidentally injured, and that as a result he is now totally and permanently disabled. He prays for compensation for four hundred weeks under the Compensation Acts.

The defense is: First, that plaintiff was not employed by defendant at the time he was injured; and, second, if it should be held that he was its employee at the time, his injuries were slight, soon healed, and he was discharged by his physician as well at the end of thirty days.

From a judgment…
