Making the Difficult Decision
The dangers involved in coal mining are well known. To make a decent wage and provide for their families, countless people feel forced to accept dangerous conditions. It is common for us to hear that workers at a particular site were just waiting for the accident to occur. While not every injury is preventable, you should never assume that you do not have a claim. We have helped clients in a wide range of mining accidents, including:
- Roof falls
- Mining equipment injury cases
- Rib rolls
- Injuries caused by explosives and breaking agents
- Electrical injuries
- Fire injuries caused by uncontrolled burning and explosions
We are deeply familiar with state and federal guidelines affecting the mining industry, including the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), and the Miners' Health, Safety and Training (MHST) regulations.
A Lawyer to Fight for You
Many of these injuries come down to lack of training and supervision. The mine operators have a duty to ensure that safety standards are understood and obeyed. Apprentice or red hat miners who are not given proper training or supervision are frequent victims of serious injuries.
