New York Court of Appeals

In the Matter of the Claim of August Marhoffer, Respondent, Against Alexander Marhoffer, Appellants. State…

May 1, 1917220 N.Y. 543

Summary

The Court held that under New York's Workmen’s Compensation Law a permanent partial disability award is in lieu of any other compensation for that injury, so the industrial commission could not award consecutive compensation for temporary total disability and then for the permanent loss of a finger; the temporary disability award was reversed and dismissed.
