Matter of Hogans v. City of New York

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department

278 App. Div. 620 (N.Y. App. Div. 1951)

Opinion

January 16, 1951.

Appeal from Workmen's Compensation Board.

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


The sole issue is one of coverage. Claimant was employed as a public health nurse in a tubercular clinic, operated by the New York City Department of Health, when she sustained an accidental injury. The board has found that she was engaged in a hazardous employment within the meaning of section 3 Work. Comp. of the Workmen's Compensation Law. We think the evidence sufficient to sustain the conclusion that claimant's work came within the meaning of group 14 of subdivision 1 of section 3 Work. Comp. of the Workmen's Compensation Law, and also was covered by the provisions of group 15 of subdivision 1 of section 3. Hence the record sustains the general finding of the board. Award affirmed, with costs to the Workmen's Compensation Board and to the claimant, to be divided equally between them, and with disbursements to each.
