In the Matter of the Claim of William Post, Respondent, Against Burger & Gohlke, Appellants

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that a New York resident employee injured while performing work in New Jersey is entitled to compensation under the New York Workmen's Compensation Law. The court based its decision on a broad legislative intent that the statute creates a constructive contract of unlimited territorial scope between employer and employee.
