Work injury recognized when violence during duty is causally linked to job performance.

The Insurance Court ruled that the employee's injury constituted a work accident because the violence was causally connected to his job duties. The plaintiff, a maintenance worker on duty, was assaulted while repairing a window, and the defendant argued the assault was unrelated to work. The court determined that the violent act occurred directly in the course of performing assigned tasks, establishing the necessary causal link for work injury status.
