Jones v. Douglas & Lomason

This is an appeal by defendant Douglas & Lomason from the Michigan Workmen’s Compensation Appeal Board’s affirmance of a referee’s award of benefits to plaintiff-appellee Jones. The findings that Jones was injured and that his injury was compensable under the Workmen’s Compensation Act are not contested here.

The determination of that issue is a question of fact for the appeal board. See Williams v Chrysler Corp, 29 Mich App 398, 401; 185 NW2d 403, 404…
