Georgia Casualty & Surety Co. v. Mills

162 S.E.2d 909, 118 Ga. App. 195, 1968 Ga. App. LEXIS 1351

Opinions

Eberhardt, Judge.

Where the medical evidence was conflicting as to whether a moderate brain concussion received when the employee fell from a truck aggravated a pre-existing cancerous condition in the lower intestines and hastened his demise, and the compensation board made its findings that the concussion was an aggravating factor and awarded compensation to the widow, the award was properly affirmed by the superior court. Montgomery v. Maryland Cas. Co., 169 Ga. 746 (1) (151 SE 363); Stapleton v. American Mutual &c. Co., 74 Ga. App. 86 (38 SE2d 848).
