A personal injury does not\ninclude only physical or bodily injury, but also includes the psychological\ninjury. It is not necessary that injury must be external in nature. Any harm or\ndamage inside the body is also an injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If a workman is doing a job which requires a lot of effort\nor energy and receives injury to his heart by such working, he is entitled to\ncompensation as it is a personal injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background has-medium-font-size\"><strong>CASE: INDIAN NEWS CHRONICLE LTD. MRS. LAZARUS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">A workman, in the course of his duties, had frequently to go\ninto a heating room and from there into a cooling room. One night he went into\nthe cooling room, he got pneumonia because of which he died. Held, the death\nwas due to personal injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>2.ACCIDENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Accident means unintended or unforeseen happening which\ncauses hurt or loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In other words, an event is deemed to be an accident, if it\nis unexpected or undersigned, although it may be due to negligence on the part\nof the concerned workman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Accident includes the mishappenings like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Collissions<\/li><li>Fall from roof<\/li><li>Internal accidents like heart failure<\/li><li>Sunstroke etc.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>EXAMPLE:<\/strong> If in the course of performing his duties, the eyes of a workman are expressed to the glare of the furnace, and on every occasion they are stuck by ultra-violet rays and absorb the same. This leads to impairment of his vision in small degrees and ultimately leads to his blindness. Held that the series of small accidents together constitute an accident causing injury to the person or a workman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">There are mainly three cases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong><em>Accident arising out of and in the course of employment:<\/em><\/strong> A workmen is given compensation for personal injury only if it arises out of and in the course of employment.

It is the time which a workman spends in carrying out his duties according to the terms of his contract of service. It also includes the duties attached to the employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In other words, it includes not only the period when he is\ndoing the work actually allotted to him but also the time when he is at a\nplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-large-font-size\"><strong>3.OCCUPATIONAL DISEASE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Any disease which is inherent to the nature of employment\nand the workers employed there earn the risk of contracting such disease is\nknown as occupational disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EXAMPLE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>A person engaged in an employment involving\nexposure to dust containing silica is liable to contract silicosis.<\/li><li>Telegraph operators are liable to contract a\ndisease named Telegraphist\u2019s Cramp.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">An employer is liable to pay compensation to a workman when\nhe contracts a disease as included in Part A, B and C of Schedule III as under:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong><em>PART A:<\/em><\/strong> An employer is liable to pay compensation to a workman when he contracts disease.
