Tolbert v. Alascom, Inc.

OPINION

BRYNER, Justice.

Daretha Tolbert filed four workers’ compensation claims against her employer, Alas-com, Inc., alleging work-related injuries to her hands. The Alaska Workers’ Compensation Board denied these claims, finding that Tolbert either had shown no compensable injury or had failed to prove that her injuries were work related. The superior court affirmed. As to three of the claims, we conclude that Tolbert presented sufficient evidence to raise a presumption of work-related injuries and that Alascom failed to rebut this presumption.
