The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for disability compensation because the plaintiff's injury stemmed from his own negligence while slipping off a truck. The plaintiff suffered a leg injury and subsequent disability, but the insurer argued the accident was not covered under the policy. The court ruled that the claim was inadmissible as the injury was caused by the employee's failure to exercise due care.
