Blackhawk Mining LLC v. Woods - Occupational Asthma Workers' Compensation Appeal

The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals affirmed the Intermediate Court of Appeals' decision upholding the Workers' Compensation Board of Review's ruling that Blackhawk Mining LLC employee Harold G. Woods Jr. is entitled to workers' compensation benefits for occupational asthma. The court deferred to the Board of Review's credibility determinations and factual findings, rejecting the employer's argument that the claimant failed to establish occupational disease causation.
