Description
In this proceeding brought under the Workmens Compensation Law of this state, the referee found "... that the employee did not sustain an accident on December 8, 1959, arising out of and in the course of his employment ..." On appeal, the Industrial Commission found that the employee did sustain an accident and awarded "10 per cent permanent partial disability of the body as a whole referable to low back strain" at the rate of $38.00 per week for 40 weeks. The Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis entered its judgment affirming the Industrial Commission and the defendant, hereinafter referred to as the employer, has perfected this appeal contending that there was a failure of substantial proof of the happening of an "accident" (as that term is used in a proceeding of this nature) and that the employee, hereinafter referred to as the claimant, failed to produce substantial evidence of a proximate causal connection between the accident alleged and his injury. Our statement of facts will, therefore, be confined to those issues and will be further restricted by the limits of our review in appeals of this nature wherein we are to ascertain if, upon the whole record, the Industrial Commission could have reasonably made its findings and reached its result considering the evidence in the light most favorable to the claimant. Forshey v. Universal Atlas Cement Company, Mo. App., 337 S.W.2d 544.
