Miller V. Northside Danzi Construction Company: Immunity, The Contractor-Under Clause And Alaska's Workers' Compensation Act, Timothy R. Gosselin Jan 1982

Miller V. Northside Danzi Construction Company: Immunity, The Contractor-Under Clause And Alaska's Workers' Compensation Act, Timothy R. Gosselin

Seattle University Law Review

In Miller v. Northside Danzi Construction Co., "the Alaska Supreme Court held that a general contractor," required by Alaska's Workers' Compensation Act to pay compensation to an uninsured subcontractor's injured employee, is not immune from liability at common law for the same injuries. Interpreting narrowly the Act's "employer" definition, the court prohibited the general contractor from asserting the exclusive liability defense granted to the primary employer who pays compensation to its injured employee, and thus permitted the injured worker to claim awards under the Act and independently at common law. By allowing the injured employee recovery from the contractor …

Mitchell And Its Progeny: An Analysis Of Recent Developments In The Payment Of Temporary Total Disability Benefits In Workmen's Compensation Cases, Joseph S. Beeson

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 …

The Expanding Role Of The West Virginia Supreme Court Of Appeals In The Review Of Workmen's Compensation Appeals, David M. Flannery, Joseph S. Beeson, M. Ann Bradley, Richard P. Goddard

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 Jun 1978

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 …
