Even a casual labor suffering from any permanent disability caused by an employment accident is entitled to compensation under the Employees Compensation Act,1923.

Certainly there would be entries about the cause of injury and the place of accident in the Accident Register maintained by the G.H. and the details of admission, treatment and discharge in the discharge summary issued.
