occupational disease claim in Ohio

2007Comm. (1983), 6 Ohio St.3d 266 , 268 , the court had occasion to summarize the holding in Hall China: * * * The court therein held that an injurious exposure was a prerequisite to the allowance of an occupational disease claim; and that proof of such exposure with the last employer was a sufficient basis for the award even though other employments may have contributed to the occupational disease.

2006Comm. (1983), 6 Ohio St.3d 266, 268 , 6 OBR 332, 452 N.E.2d 1341 , a case dealing with an occupational-disease claim for asbestosis, we adopted the Hall China holding, stating: “[Pjroof of [injurious] exposure with the last employer [is] a sufficient basis for the award even though other employments may have contributed to the occupational disease.” {¶ 23} I cannot agree with the majority that the history of compensation and other benefits alone is sufficient evidence upon which to allocate 100 percent of the cost of an award for permanent and total disability.
