OUTCOME: Dismissal reversed
The trial court dismissed our client's slip and fall case. The Court of Appeals reversed and remanded for trial, finding that there was sufficient evidence of a dangerous condition on the defendant's p ... roperty.
OUTCOME: The court held a preexisting condition must substantially and permanently limit a claimant's ability to function before an employer can use the preexisting condition to reduce the award for permanent partial disability.
Our client was injured in the course of his employment with Puget Sound Freight Lines. The issue on appeal was what is required for a self-insured employer to reduce a claimant's award for permanent pa ... rtial disability when x-rays showed that the claimant had preexisting arthritis.
OUTCOME: Contract rate for post judgment interest applies to unpaid UIM benefits.
The issue was whether interest on unpaid UIM benefits should be based on the contract rate or the lower tort rate. The court reversed a prior published decision and created a new rule that the higher c ... ontract rate applies, which resulted in over $700,000 in interest being owed to our client.
OUTCOME: Reversed the trial court's dismissal
Our client sustained serious injuries while working as a civilian on Fort Lewis. The trial court dismissed his claim, finding that the state court did not have subject matter jurisdiction over the case ... because the injury occurred on federal land. The Court of Appeals reversed the dismissal and ruled that the state court did in fact have jurisdiction.
