Description
This is a case of first impression regarding a 1988 amendment to the Industrial Insurance Act (Act). The amendment, Laws of 1988, ch. 161, § 11 (codified at RCW 51.32.160), imposed an aggregate 150-day limit upon the time which the Department of Labor and Industries (Department) has to consider an application to reopen a workers' compensation claim due to the aggravation of an industrial injury. Construing and applying the amendment, the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals (Board) determined that Clyde McCoy's reopening application was "deemed granted" since the Department had not acted within the 150-day limit. It therefore ordered the Tollycraft Yachts Corporation (Tollycraft), McCoy's employer and a self-insurer under the Act, to reopen McCoy's claim. On Tollycraft's appeal, the Superior Court for Cowlitz County granted summary judgment in favor of McCoy. We reverse.
