Chase v. Department of Labor & Industries

September 30, 1924, respondent was injured while engaged in an extrahazardous undertaking. At that time he was employed by Snow Lumber Company. His claim for compensation was allowed April 30, 1925, with a permanent partial disability award of three hundred sixty dollars. In March, 1947, he filed a claim for an aggravation of the injury, which claim was disallowed by the supervisor, whose action was affirmed by the joint board. Respondent then appealed to the superior court, where the cause was tried to a jury with the result that he was allowed additional compensation.
