Virgil A. Adams v. State of Alaska, Workers' Compensation Benefits Guaranty Fund; Michael A. Heath d/b/a O&M…

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court reversed the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Commission’s finding that Michael A. Heath was not an employer and remanded for the Commission to consider whether Adams’s intoxication was a proximate cause of his injury; the Court held that substantial evidence supports the Board’s determination that Heath’s real‑estate activities constitute a business or industry making him an employer.
