Description
The appellant (the employee) was injured while on his unpaid one-half hour lunch break when the brakes failed on a flat-bed truck owned by the appellee (the employer), causing the truck to roll into an adjacent work truck, pinning the employee between the two vehicles and causing him serious injury. The accident occurred on February 27, 1989. While the employee was hospitalized for treatment of his injuries, he began to receive payments of worker's compensation benefits and continued to receive such payments until July or early August. At no time did the employee make any claim for worker's compensation benefits. The employee brought this action against the employer on April 25, 1989, alleging that the accident which caused him injury was due to the negligence of the employer. The employer filed a motion for summary judgment and that motion was granted. Final summary judgment in favor of the employer was entered on February 19, 1990. The employee appeals and we reverse.
