Employers Liability Bill Advances In Georgia House
The general judiciary committee in Atlanta on July 21 agreed to report favorably the employers liability bill of Mr. White of Screven in amended form. Railroad attorneys opposed it as Chairman Joe Hill debated with Rep. Barry Wright who supported the measure. The bill mirrors the federal statute but adds a burden on the carrier to prove contributory negligence and reduces damages by the injured employee’s degree of negligence in non fatal cases. The committee also favorably reported a bill letting a minor sue for a parent’s homicide when there are no widows or dependents.
