Division 1 Court of Appeals

Douglas, Jr. v. Dept. of L&I

  •  John Douglas filed a claim for benefits under the Industrial Insurance Act based on an occupational disease. The Department of Labor and Industries (Department) denied the claim, and the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals affirmed. After a jury trial, the superior court affirmed the Board’s decision. In this appeal, Douglas challenges the trial court’s refusal to give his suggested jury instructions concerning compensable consequences and its decision to use the special verdict form suggested by the Department. COA # 870670. King County Superior Court # 22-2-00487-8.
