Stevenson v. Lee Moor Contracting Co.

Appellant Stevenson, a truck driver employed by appellee company, a road building contractor, became ill after driving and operating for one day one of the heavy trucks of the company, claiming that he inhaled excessive dust from the road work and fumes and gases from the motor exhaust, and that he quickly developed pneumonia by which he was incapacitated for some three months, and from which he would probably continue to be unable to work for some time in the future. He asks for workmen's compensation, as provided by the Workmen's Compensation Act, Chapter 156, N.M.S.A., 1929, and amendments.
