Louisiana Court of Appeal
Decided February 21, 1949No. 7285PublishedCited by 14 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
This is an action for workmen's compensation, to which defendant interposed an exception of no cause nor right of action and a plea of prescription. Both the exception and the plea were sustained by the Judge of the District Court, and judgment was rendered rejecting plaintiff's demands. From this judgment plaintiff has appealed.
The basis of the exception of no cause nor right of action is predicated upon the proposition that plaintiff did not allege an "accident" within the contemplation of the workmen's compensation statute. Act No. 20 of 1914, as amended.
