Fidelity & Casualty Co. v. Adams
28 S.E.2d 79 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1943
1. Where an employee suffered a heat stroke when he temporarily stopped his work and took a drink of water and died, his death was due to accident and not an act of God. The superior court did not err in reversing the award of the State Board of Workmen's Compensation, denying compensation to the claimant.
2. The court correctly entered judgment bases on the employee's regular weekly wage.
The court did not err in basing the award on the regular weekly wage being earned at the time of the injury. SeeBituminous Casualty Corporation v. Sapp,
