Description
[198 Wash Page 71] ROBINSON, J. -- H. Godfrey was injured in September, 1931, while engaged in extrahazardous employment in a Seattle steel mill. His claim for compensation was, at first, wholly rejected, upon the ground that his condition was not the result of an accident within the [198 Wash Page 72] meaning of the workmen's compensation act. Later, the joint board allowed and closed his claim, with time loss compensation for two months only and a payment of $240 with respect to permanent partial disability of his right shoulder, but rejected his contention that his heart condition was caused by the steel mill accident. Godfrey thereupon appealed to the superior court of King county. That court held, on January 26, 1934, that the heart condition was caused by the accident, and the department was ordered to classify the appellant as totally and permanently disabled.
