Collins v. Day
Indiana Supreme Court
644 N.E.2d 72 (1994)
- Written by Deanna Curl, JD
Facts
On February 11, 1989, Eugene Collins (plaintiff) broke his leg while working as an agricultural worker for Glen Day (defendant). Collins applied for workman’s compensation benefits seeking compensation for medical expenses and lost earnings, but Day opposed the application. A hearing judge granted Day’s motion to dismiss, citing an exemption for agricultural work under the Indiana Worker’s Compensation Act. On appeal, the Worker’s Compensation Board affirmed the denial of benefits. Collins then challenged the constitutionality of the agricultural exemption under the privileges-and-immunities clause of the Indiana Constitution.
