In the Matter of the Claim of Gustav Heitz, Respondent v. Jacob Ruppert, Appellants

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the workmen's compensation commission's award to Heitz, holding that his eye injury arose out of and in the course of his employment. The Court explained that the statutory language requires the accident to be both "out of" and "in the course of" employment and that the commission's factual findings are final and not subject to appellate review. Accordingly, the award was sustained.
