Seaham. Joseph Anderson, 34, filler.
On 13th August, 1924, this man sustained an injury to his chest through being struck by a prop which had been knocked out by a fall of coal. The management are refusing to pay compensation on the grounds that the accident was not reported.
Dr. Moore (the man's own doctor) on 24th September, 1925 reported as follows :—
"Present Condition. — Definite Pulmonary Tuberculosis most noticed over the upper part of left chest.
Grounds of Opinion. In my opinion the blow received while at his work on 13th August, 1924, gave rise to Pleurisy, and from this tubercule bacilus settled down at the site of injury in a man whose chest condition previously was not the very best, although previous examination for attacks of Bronchitis revealed nothing beyond Bronchitis.
Anderson is still off work and now claims full compensation.
Claim disallowed.
