Description
BURKE, Justice. In this appeal we are asked to determine which employer should be held liable for the payment of workers' compensation benefits
when employment with successive employers may have contributed to the worker's resulting disability. The Workers' Compensation
Board applied Alaska's last injurious exposure rule 1 to the case and determined that the worker's disability was causally
related to the worker's most recent employment. Accordingly, the Board held employer, Rogers and Babler, liable for payment
of the worker's disability benefits. On appeal, the superior court reversed and remanded on the grounds that the Board had
failed to make certain required findings and that the determination lacked substantial evidentiary support. 2 We now affirm
the Board's determination.
