Question Presented (AI Summary)

Was Workers' Compensation law and the cases of Schiel, Wedmore, and White involving mostly injury, misapplied to this case; a case that is about gross, even criminally negligent death in the workplace, where funeral expenses paid for the victim were labeled as a 'significant benefit' by the Alaska Supreme Court?

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW: , 1. Was Workers’ Compensation law and the cases of | Schiel, Wedmore, and White involving mostly | injury, misapplied to this case; a case that is about } gross, even criminally negligent death in the } workplace, where funeral expenses paid for the victim were labeled as a “significant benefit” by } the Alaska Supreme Court? } 2. Are the US and Alaska Constitutional Rights of | average working Americans being denied in the | workplace, like access to the Courts—as if the Bill 3 of Rights says “you have all these rights to life, liberty and property, except in the workplace”? (Of course, it doesn’t say that.) 3. Why is all of the burden of a workplace death | being put upon the victim's family, where legal representation is almost obsolete, where “no consequence” laws in the workplace cause more accidents”, and where all of the cost, time, and | energy spent in seeking justice is carried by the victim’s family? ee oe | ; iT)
