Alaska Supreme Court
Silvia v. Tobar v. Remington Holdings Lp and Liberty Insurance Company
August 30, 2019447 P.3d 747
Summary
The Alaska Supreme Court vacated the Workers' Compensation Appeals Commission’s decision and remanded for further proceedings, finding the Board’s March 20, 2014 medical‑stability date unsupported by substantial evidence and preserving the appellant’s argument that the Board should have advised her of a request for a second independent medical examination (SIME). The Court also declined to dismiss the appeal for alleged waiver.
