Legal Opinion

Goldston v. Goldston Concrete Works, Inc.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina

Decided June 16, 1976No. 7519IC1050Published

1Opinion of the Court

VAUGHN, Judge.

To be compensable under the Workmen’s Compensation Act an injury must be one that arises out of and in the course of the employment.

“The words ‘out of’ refer to the origin or cause of the accident and the words ‘in the course of’ to the time, place and circumstances under which it occurred . . . [t]here must be some causal relation between the employment and the injury; but if the injury is one which, after the event, may be seen to have had its origin in the employment, it need not be shown that it is one which ought to have been foreseen or expected. . . .
