Suicide As A Compensable Claim Under Workers' Compensation Statutes: A Guide For The Lawyer And The Psychiatrist, John Blatt, Christopher P. Bastien
West Virginia Law Review
We live in a highly complex, industrialized environment. Specific work-related events occurring within this context frequently impact negatively on those who are essential to the operation of our industrial system. Often the impact of events produces human misery, suffering and death. Men and women are injured, maimed and killed. Workers' compensation statutes exist to ameliorate the plight of workers and their families through the utilization of compensation in the form of cash-wage benefits and medical care. The economic burden of compensation is ultimately borne by consumers, because the cost of insurance taken out by employers is passed on in the …

West Virginia Law Review
The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, since it achieved its present composition by virtue of the November, 1976, general election, has had a dramatic impact on the development of workmen's compensation law in West Virginia. Although it is difficult to single out the most significant decisions of the court in this area, most practitioners would probably agree that the two cases having the greatest impact upon workmen's compensation practice and related matters are Mandolidis v. Elkins Industries, Inc. and Mitchell v. State Workmen's Compensation Commissioner. The Mandolidis decision received extensive treatment in an earlier article in this law review …

West Virginia Law Review
The November elections of 1976 brought about a major change in the composition of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals. Three new justices, a majority of the court, were elected. The consequences of the election have been widely felt throughout the State. In no area has its impact been greater, however, than in the area of workmen's compensation law. The court has shown a great willingness to hear workmen's compensation appeals. In reviewing such appeals, the court has chosen to play an active role in the review of evidence, something generally avoided by prior courts. There has been little …
The Black Lung Benefits Reform And Revenue Acts Of 1977, John Rollins
The Black Lung Benefits Reform And Revenue Acts Of 1977, John Rollins
West Virginia Law Review
On February 15, 1978, Congress enacted the Black Lung Benefits Reform Act of 1977. The passage of this legislation followed months of congressional indecision over just how the existing black lung benefits system could be reformed. During this period, the financing of the program appeared to be the most divisive issue. That issue was finally resolved by the enactment in late January of the Black Lung Benefits Revenue Act of 1977. After this hurdle was cleared, the conference committee report on the reform act easily passed both houses.' The Act, which amended the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act …
