Description

It is well established in this State that the Workmens Compensation Act is not intended to provide general health and accident insurance, but its purpose is to provide compensation for those injuries which result from accidents which arise out of and in the course of the employment. Bryan v. Church, 267 N.C. 111, 147 S.E.2d 633 (1966); Lewis v. Tobacco Co., 260 N.C. 410, 132 S.E.2d 877 (1963); Anderson v. Motor Co., 233 N.C. 372, 64 S.E.2d 265 (1951); Withers v. Black, 230 N.C. 428, 53 S.E.2d 668 (1949). From an examination of the evidence presented, we think there was sufficient competent evidence to support the Industrial Commissions findings of fact, and we are bound by them. Hinkle v. Lexington, 239 N.C. 105, 79 S.E.2d 220 (1953); G.S. 97-86; Williams v. Board of Education, 1 N.C. App. 89, 160 S.E.2d 102 (1968). See also Askew v. Tire Co., 264 N.C. 168, 141 S.E.2d 280 (1965).
