Adam F. Bober, Petitioner-Appellant v. Independent Plating Corporation, a Corporation of New Jersey…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division, reinstating the workmen's compensation award to Adam Bober, holding that exposure to chromic acid dust, though an irritant, was a compensable occupational disease, that the patient's medical history statements to his treating physician were admissible, and that the statutory definition of occupational disease should be interpreted liberally.
