Description
WIGGINS, J.*fn* -- Employees of General Plastics Manufacturing Company brought this action against the company alleging that it had intentionally exposed them to toxic chemicals that harmed them. General Plastic moved for summary judgment of dismissal based on the employer's immunity under the Industrial Insurance Act. The employees argued that their injuries resulted from "the deliberate intention of his or her employer to produce such injury" within the meaning of RCW 51.24.020, giving them a cause of action against the employer. The trial court denied summary judgment and our commissioner granted discretionary review. We affirm, holding that the employees have presented sufficient evidence that the employer had actual knowledge that an injury was certain to occur and willfully disregarded that knowledge.
