Description
THIGPEN, Judge This is a workmen's compensation case. Jerry Thomas filed suit against Gold Kist, Inc., in August 1989, alleging that he was employed as a warehouseman for Gold Kist, Inc., beginning in 1983. He further alleged that an injury occurred in the line and scope of his employment, leaving him permanently disabled since September 1988. Thomas argued that he was inadvertently sprayed in the face with certain chemicals which he was mixing that were used to kill weeds on the Gold Kist premises. The exposure to noxious fumes and chemicals is alleged to have either caused emphysema or aggravated his health, causing him to become partially or permanently disabled as a result thereof. Following a bench trial, the trial court found that Thomas had not provided timely notice of injury in accordance with Ala. Code 1975, § 25-5-78, and it entered judgment in favor of Gold Kist; hence, this appeal.
