Description
In this industrial insurance case, we are asked to interpret former RCW 51.32.090(3) (1979) and decide the proper basis for calculating temporary loss of earning power (LEP) benefits when a worker's previous injury is aggravated and his or her claim is reopened following a permanent partial disability (PPD) award.*fn1 We do not reach this issue because we find that such a worker must make a threshold showing that he or she experienced a temporary total disability or an actual loss of earning power as a proximate result of the injury's aggravation. Because the injured worker here has not made the necessary threshold showing, he is not entitled to LEP benefits. Thus, we reverse the Court of Appeals.
