Royal Jellico Coal Co. v. Cunningham

OSBORNE, Judge.

This is an appeal from a judgment of the Whitley Circuit Court affirming an award by the Workmen’s Compensation Board to appellee Tom L. Cunningham. Appellee was injured in a mine accident when he was struck by a shuttle car and pinned between the car and a wall of the mine. The blow fractured his left hip. As a result of the fracture, he was hospitalized in Nashville, Tennessee, where the fracture was repaired by the insertion of a metal pin or screws. Following the repair to the fracture, he was placed in a body cast and remained in the hospital for three weeks.
