Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court March 3, 1922 (Sullivan's Case)

Carroll, J.

In this proceeding under the workmen’s compensation act, the employee was awarded compensation; and the insurer appealed, on the ground that'there was no causal connection between the alleged accident and the injury claimed, and that the employee has not sustained the burden of proving that the insurer was not prejudiced by the employee’s failure to give notice as soon as practicable.
