1. Plaintiff's acute onset of back pain which occurred on May 4, 1996, and the disc herniation at L5-6, which was subsequently discovered, are causally related to her original compensable injury by accident of May 3, 1994 and therefore are compensable.

New job duties do not become routine under § 97-2(6) until the employee gains proficiency and becomes accustomed to them.

Church v. Baxter Travenol Laboratories, Inc. · filed 1991-11-05(6)

Under this reasoning, we find that plaintiff, who had been employed by defendant for five years in an office job before her work-related injury and who testified that she was not yet proficient in defendant’s filling department, was not performing her usual work routine at the time of accidental injury on her fifth day on the production line. The Commission’s conclusion that the plaintiff suffered an injury by accident is accordingly upheld.

An injury sustained while performing duties outside the employee’s routine work may qualify as an accident under § 97-2(6).

Sanderson v. Northeast Construction Co. · filed 1985-10-01(6)

This evidence requires us to find that plaintiff was not engaged in his routine duties in his customary fashion. There is no evidence to support the Commission’s finding that he was, and we so hold.

An unexpectedly heavy crate can interrupt a worker’s usual lifting routine and make a resulting injury an injury by accident under § 97-2(6).

Gladson v. Piedmont Stores/Scotties Discount Drug Store · filed 1982-06-01(6)

The work routine, the lifting of lighter crates, was interrupted by introduction of a crate heavier than expected and heavier than usual. This created an unusual condition, an unforeseen event, likely to result in unexpected consequences. The Commission was thus warranted in concluding as a matter of law that plaintiff suffered an injury “by accident.”

Section 97-2(6) requires a claimant to prove an injury by accident arising out of and in the course of employment.

Gilbert v. B & S Contractors, Inc. · filed 1986-06-03(6)

In order for a claimant to recover Workers’ Compensation benefits, he must prove that his injury was (1) by accident; (2) arising out of his employment; and (3) in the course of the employment.

New working conditions do not become part of an employee’s normal work routine until the employee has become accustomed to them; an injury during an interruption of that routine may qualify as an injury by accident.

Gunter v. Dayco Corp. · filed 1986-08-12(6)

New conditions of employment to which an employee is introduced and expected to perform regularly do not become a part of an employee’s work routine until they have in fact become routine.

Section 97-2(6) treats a disability certificate as a factor in determining an employee’s normal work routine, but the certificate does not settle that question.

Pittman v. Inco, Inc. · filed 1985-12-03(6)

We conclude that while the disability certificate was a factor to be considered in determining what plaintiffs “normal work routine” was, it was not dispositive.

An injury can qualify as an accident under § 97-2(6) when a change in the employee’s usual work routine introduces turning and twisting movements that cause injury.

Adams v. Burlington Industries, Inc. · filed 1983-03-15(6)

The work routine of plaintiff’s lifting chairs with his upper torso in a straight posture was interrupted by the introduction of the turning and twisting movements required by the hot box job. We hold that the Commission properly concluded as a matter of law that plaintiff sustained an injury by “accident.”

Section 97-2(6) excludes injuries sustained while performing customary duties in the usual way from the definition of accident; performing another employee’s job and lifting an unusually heavy object differs from that routine.

Gaddy v. Cranston Print Works Co. · filed 1985-03-05(6)

When one is injured while performing his customary duties in the usual way, it is not an accident under G.S. 97-2(6). ... But performing another’s regular job and lifting an unusually large and heavy object even for that job, as occurred here, is not the same thing as performing one’s own customary duties in the usual way.

Section 97-2(6) requires a new circumstance outside the usual work routine for an injury to qualify as an accident.

There must be some new circumstance not a part of the usual work routine in order to find that an accident has occurred.

Section 97-2(6) defines injury as injury by accident and excludes disease unless it results from an accident; § 97-52 does not amend that definition.

Harrell v. Harriet & Henderson Yarn · filed 1982-04-06(6)

Such a definition is in direct conflict with the clear wording of G.S. 97-2(6) which limits “injury,” for purposes of the Act generally, to “. . . injury by accident arising out of and in the course of the employment. . . .” Indeed, the statute specifies that injury “. . . shall not include a disease in any form, except where it results . . . from [an] accident.”

Section 97-2(6) covers a disease as an injury by accident only when a particular accident is shown and the disease naturally and unavoidably results from it.

Booker v. Duke Medical Center · filed 1977-04-05(6)

If that event can be shown and if it constituted an “accident” within the purview of the Workmen’s Compensation Act, then coverage for the resulting disease is provided by G.S. 97-2(6), but if, as here, it is not possible to show any particular event constituting an accident from which the disease “naturally and unavoidable” resulted, coverage is not provided by that section.

Section 97-2(6) treats an unusual, unexpected event as an accident even when the employee knew the work carried a risk of injury.

Searsey v. Perry M. Alexander Construction Co. · filed 1978-01-17(6)

Plaintiff’s knowledge of the risks of operating an air hammer over air did not make his “unusual” task usual; it did not make even a probable injury “expected.”

Physical exertion may itself precipitate an injury by accident under § 97-2(6).

Hollar v. Montclair Furniture Co., Inc. · filed 1980-09-02(6)

Physical exertion may in and of itself be the precipitating cause of an injury by accident within the meaning of G.S. 97-2(6).

Locklear v. Robeson County · filed 1981-12-01(6)

Royster v. Culp, Inc. · filed 1995-07-18(6)

As in Hardy, the fact that plaintiff had to cross the public highway on his way to the plant from a parking lot owned and maintained by his employer constituted an additional hazard of his employment. We, therefore, find that the injury he suffered from the accident on the public highway was com-pensable under the Workers’ Compensation Act.
