180 A.D. 147 | N.Y. App. Div. | 1917
The accident happened January 10, 1916. Section 28 of the Workmen’s Compensation Law (Consol. Laws, chap. 67; Laws of 1914, chap. 41) provides that the right to compensation shall be forever barred unless within one year after the injury a claim for compensation is filed with the Commission. The claim in this case was not so filed until January 10, 1917. The appellants contend that in computing time reckoned by years, the day from which the time is reckoned must be included in the reckoning, and that the claim, therefore, was not filed within one year. So it was held in Aultman & Taylor Co. v. Syme (163 N. Y. 54) and Benoit v. New York
The award should be affirmed.
Award unanimously affirmed.
