 78 Wn. App. 162, WALMER v. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
The Superior Court held that Walmer's claims to further benefits were barred as a matter of law under RCW 51.32.160 and that this statute does not violate the Privileges and Immunities clause of the Washington State Constitution, article I, section 12.
Walmer argues, however, that once the Director reopened his claim, he became entitled to seek statutory benefits beyond the medical and surgical benefits the IAJ and Board awarded.
Walmer's second argument is that RCW 51.32.160 allows such broad discretion to the Director that "overseven" claimants are without guidance in determining whether their claims for other benefits will be allowed.
