MINING & INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS

Coal mining is a high-risk occupation, and all coal miners are aware of the dangers involved with their jobs. Because of these risks, coal mining companies are required to strictly follow many different laws and regulations in the operation of their coal mines. If you have been injured in a coal mining or other industrial accident, it’s important to speak with an attorney that is skilled in handling these cases and has knowledge of the relevant laws in your state.

Unfortunately, the true extent of The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) imposes many complex regulations on mining companies. The companies must adhere to all regulations to ensure the safety of their workers. If you are injured during your work as a coal miner, it’s important to determine if all regulations were followed properly. An attorney with knowledge of these laws can carefully examine the facts of your case and consult with experts in the industry to determine if the coal mining companies may be responsible for your accident.
