Workers' Compensation
When a traveling employee is exposed to a certain risk while working, he is presumed to have been exposed to a greater degree than the general public. Employee, who was a plumbing inspector for city, was exposed to risk of traversing a curb to a greater degree than a member of general public by virtue of status as a traveling employee at time of accident. Injury employee suffered when tripping over curb was sustained in course of his employment and arose out of his employment. (HOLDRIDGE, HUDSON, HARRIS, and STEWART, concurring.)
