  1. Cook v. M. J. Walsh Boiler Scaling Co.

    40 So. 2d 655 (La. Ct. App. 1949)   Cited 7 times

    Counsel for defendants call attention to several cases, in each of which it was held that in compensation cases, as well as in all others, the plaintiff must successfully bear the burden of proof and must make his case certain by a reasonable preponderance of the evidence. They cite Tickles v. E. I. Dupont De Nemours Company, La. App., 191 So. 764, 765, in which the Court said: "Plaintiff's testimony that he did have such an accident is not supported by any other witness and he has contradicted himself in so many instances that it would be difficult indeed for the court to accept his lone statement on that, the all important point in the case. Not only however does his testimony stand alone but it is contradicted by the two witnesses called by him to corroborate it.
