Working with coal is a dirty, dangerous, and underappreciated job. It involves physical labor, specialized knowledge, and experience to know how to safely extract the valuable mineral from the earth. It is an unforgiving profession, but without the coal that powers more than half of the generating stations and provides heat for our nation, we would be in dire straits.
Unfortunately, coal working does lead to a large number of dangerous injuries each year. Hundreds of coal miners are injured each year, and as recent events in West Virginia illustrate, death can occur even for the most prepared and trained miners. Furthermore, long term illnesses such as black lung disease and silicosis claim more and more lives each year.
If you are a coal worker injured in your profession, or if coal working took the life of someone you love, you may be entitled to take legal action to claim damages based on your suffering. A dedicated and experienced lawyer can help you discover your rights - contact someone today.
