Commercial Etc. Ins. Co. v. Indus. Acc. Com.

Petitioner filed an answer admitting that it had issued a policy to one Joe Uribe, but denying that he was the applicant's employer, and denying generally that it was the insurance carrier of such employer, and alleging that the policy issued by it did not cover the place where the injuries to the applicant occurred. After a hearing, the Industrial Accident Commission found against petitioner on both of these defenses and made an award against it in favor of the applicant, dismissing the employer from the case. The petitioner now claims that the findings above mentioned are without support in the evidence.
