Louis Russo, Petitioner-Respondent v. United States Trucking Corp., Respondent-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and reinstated the Workmen's Compensation Division judgment, holding that appellate review of factual findings in workmen's compensation cases is de novo and not limited to a substantial‑evidence standard. The Court affirmed that the petitioner failed to meet his burden of proof of the alleged accidents.
