Claim of Blau v. Goldshare Restaurant

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Jan 10, 1951
278 App. Div. 595 (N.Y. App. Div. 1951)

Opinion

January 10, 1951.

Appeal from Workmen's Compensation Board.

Present — Foster, P.J., Heffernan, Deyo, Bergan and Coon, JJ.


Decedent sustained accidental injuries in the course of his employment and thereafter committed suicide. The testimony was sufficient to raise an issue of fact as to whether he destroyed himself as a result of mental derangement caused by his accidental injuries, or whether his suicide was merely the result of a willful intention to take his own life. ( Matter of Delinousha v. National Biscuit Co., 248 N.Y. 93; Workmen's Compensation Law, § 10.) The board resolved the issue in favor of complaint. Award unanimously affirmed, with costs to the Workmen's Compensation Board.
