Description
GOODWYN, Justice. This is a workmen's compensation case tried in the circuit court of Jefferson County and brought here by
certiorari. On October 29, 1954, Richard Hubbert, the husband of plaintiff in this proceeding, entered into a workmen's compensation
settlement agreement with his employer, petitioner herein, pursuant to the Alabama Workmen's Compensation Law as it then existed,
Code 1940, Tit. 26, §§ 253-325, as amended to said date, particularly §§ 278 (as amended
by Act No. 661, § 3, appvd. July 10, 1940, Gen.Acts 1939, p. 1036) and 279 (as amended by Act No. 563, §
1, appvd. Aug. 29, 1951, effective Oct. 28, 1951, Acts 1951, p. 978). The settlement, approved by the circuit court on the
same date pursuant to § 278, as amended, supra, provided for payment of compensation of $9.49 per week for 300 weeks,
the installments totaling $2,847. Hubbert died on September 13, 1955, from causes other than the work-connected injury (silicosis)
made the basis of the compensation award. Up to the time of his death he had received a total of $1,742.87 leaving the balance
of the award at $1,104.13. Included in the payments were several advance payments agreed upon and approved by the circuit
court.
