Description
Jake Preston Carter filed a claim for compensation with the Industrial Commission, alleging that he had suffered a total loss of vision in his right eye, due to an accident arising out of and in the course of his employment, while working for the Hercules Powder Company. Specifically, his claim was, that while about his employers business certain chemicals had "splashed" in his right eye, causing a cataract to form thereon and resulting in the loss of vision in that eye. The hearing Commissioner found that, assuming that the chemical substance had actually gotten into the claimants eye (as to which he said there was considerable doubt), the evidence failed to prove a "causal relationship" between the alleged accident and the claimants loss of vision. The full Commission affirmed this finding and denied the claim. Hence this appeal.
