Moses v. Ford Motor Co.

As I construe the department's finding and award, the holding is that plaintiff suffered a personal injury which would have entitled him to compensation except "for the reason that he has not suffered any disability as the result of such injury." Obviously the purpose of the department's determination is to enable plaintiff to be later awarded compensation in event his injury results in disability. Otherwise there was no need for the department to modify the award of the deputy who denied compensation, one of the reasons being that "prompt notice of said hernia was not given to the employer."
