WV SB1008

Amends West Virginia's statute of limitations for asbestos and silica litigation under §55-7G-9 of the state code

Establishes that a cause of action accrues on the earliest of three dates: when the exposed person received a medical diagnosis, when facts would have led a reasonable person to seek diagnosis, or upon death of the exposed person

Creates a "two-disease rule" treating nonmalignant conditions as distinct causes of action from asbestos-related or silica-related cancers

Adds new restrictions on lawsuits against manufacturers of underground mining equipment where asbestos use was required by federal regulations (30 CFR Part 18) or silica design was specified by federal standards (30 CFR Part 33)

Imposes time limits of 12 years from first sale/lease/delivery by manufacturers or 10 years from delivery to initial user for claims against mining equipment manufacturers, with an exception for brake materials
