What Constitutes "Line of Duty"?

Back 36

Naval personnel while on active duty service is presumed to have been incurred "In the Line of Duty" unless there is clear and convincing evidence that it was incurred.

2. while avoiding duty by deserting
3. while absent without leave and such absence materially interfered with in the performance of required military duties (excess of 24 hours)
4. While confined under sentence of a court martial that included an unremitted dishonorable discharge

Front 37

(JagMan)
Types of Negligence

Back 37

1. Simple Negligence: Exceeding the speed limit by 5 MPH
2. Gross Negligence: Exceeding the speed limit by 40 MPH knowing you have no brakes
3. Proximate Cause: If the injuries are caused by a meteor falling on the car, the gross negligence involved in driving a car at a high rate of speed without brakes is not the proximate cause of the injuries.
4. Reasonably Foreseeable: If the injuries are caused by a bridge collapsing underneath the car and a Greyhound bus following the car into the water and landing on top of the car, the gross negligence involved in driving the car without brakes does not make those injuries reasonably foreseeable.
