Alaska Supreme Court
Gregory Weaver v. Asrc Federal Holding Co. and Arctic Slope Regional Corp.
June 5, 2020464 P.3d 1242
Summary
The court affirmed the Commission’s decision denying Weaver additional workers’ compensation benefits for his continuing back condition. It held that the employer presented substantial evidence rebutting the presumption of compensability, that substantial evidence supported the Board’s causation determination, that exclusion of untested medical reports adequately protected Weaver’s due process rights, and that the Board properly deferred the 2010 injury claim because no separate written claim had been filed. No separate opinions were issued.
