Texas Supreme Court

Texas Employers Insurance Association, Petitioner v. Mason Don Page, Respondent

May 25, 197720 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 336

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals, holding that Mason Don Page satisfied both statutory requirements for a compensable workmen's compensation injury and that a pre‑existing knee condition does not bar recovery unless it is the sole cause. The Court also found that the trial court erred in granting an instructed verdict because material factual issues remained.
