Description
Donna Merritt, widow of Jerry Merritt, deceased, filed a claim for death benefits under the Workmens Compensation Law, §§ 27-48 through 27-168, W.S. 1957, C. 1967, - Page 662 asserting that decedent was fatally injured in an automobile accident and at the time of his death was employed as a "car salesman" by Georges Ford Center of Thermopolis, Wyoming, and that such injury occurred while decedent was engaged in the carrying out of his duties in an extra-hazardous employment. The State Treasurer resisted the claim on the ground that decedent was not engaged in an extra-hazardous occupation within the purview of the law at the time of the accident and for such reason claimant was not entitled to benefits thereunder. After hearing, the trial court, inter alia, found "that such death was sustained while employee was working in a covered occupation namely motor delivery under the Workmens Compensation Law" and on the basis of such finding the trial court entered an order awarding death benefits to the widow and minor children. The State Treasurer and the employer have appealed.
