Description
1. Workmens Compensation ? medical services part of compensation. Medical services furnished injured employee is in law a part of the compensation for the injury. 2. Workmens Compensation ? liberally construed. The Workmens Compensation Act should be liberally construed in favor of its beneficiaries, and the Act calls for a speedy adjustment of claims, regardless of technical requirements. 3. Principal and Agent ? ratification of doctors claim. Subsequent ratification is equivalent in law to prior authorization. 4. Workmens Compensation ? jurisdiction to pay on doctor filing claim. Where a physician who treated an injured workman filed a claim for his medical services with the Industrial Accident Board within twelve months from the date of the accident, and the employee who lost no wages by his injury filed no claim but acquiesced in the physicians filing of the claim when informed thereof, it was held that the employee ratified the physicians act and the filing of the claim gave the Board jurisdiction of the workmans claim for compensation. 5. Workmens Compensation ? continuing jurisdiction to pay. Where the Industrial Accident Board, on the claim of an employee who lost no wages by his injury, assumed jurisdiction by allowing the physicians claim for medical services furnished employee, and it later developed that the employee had become totally blind in one eye, the Boards jurisdiction on the claim continued so that it could award compensation for the loss of the eye.
