Ocean Accident & Guarantee Corp. v. Martin

Stephens, J. 1. The evidence authorized the finding by the Industrial Commission that the claimant’s husband received a fall which caused^ the rupture of an internal ulcer from which death ensued, and that the injury arose out of and in the course of the employment. 2. The evidence authorized the inference that the representative of the injured employee immediately gave notice of the injury to the immediate superior of the injured employee, and therefore a written notice to the employer was not necessary.
