Description
On December 11, 1961, Richard Holman died from asphyxiation caused by the inhalation of a lethal dose of carbon monoxide gas while working for the Colorado Fuel and Iron Corporation and the sole question presented by this writ of error is whether his widow and surviving minor child are entitled to benefits under the Workmens Compensation Act, C.R.S. 53, 81-1-1 et seq., or whether the exclusive remedy lies under the Occupational Disease Disability Act, C.R.S. 53, 81-8-1 et seq. The employer in this case is self-insured under the Workmens Compensation Act while it is insured with the State Compensation Insurance Fund under the Occupational Disease Disability Act. The Industrial Commission awarded benefits under the Workmens Compensation Act and this award was affirmed by the district court.
