Claim of McKee v. City of New York

262 A.D. 983, 30 N.Y.S.2d 71, 1941 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 6780

Opinion

Appeal from an award of disability compensation under the Workmen’s Compensation Law. Claimant was employed as a registered nurse at Bellevue Hospital which is maintained by the city of New York. His salary was $110 a month, plus three meals a day, and he testified he was entitled to those three meals on his days off as on the days when he worked. On a day when he was not on duty he returned to the hospital for dinner and while ascending the steps leading into the building he stepped on a round object, slipped and fell, receiving the injuries for which compensation has been awarded. Award unanimously affirmed, with costs to the State Industrial Board. Present — Hill, P. J., Crapser, Bliss, Heffernan and Schenck, JJ,
