West Virginia Coal Mining Accident Attorney
Representing Injured Workers for Over 40 Years
West Virginia has a rich history of coal mining, and we are proud of those who have put their lives at risk to fuel the United State's economy. When miners are injured in workplace accidents, it is vital that they receive full and generous compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages that their family depends
- Pain and suffering caused by the injury
Bob Fitzsimmons, one of the firm’s attorneys, was appointed as one of the three mediators that settled 69 cases in the Upper Big Branch mine disaster of 2010 in Boone County, West Virginia. Bob also resolved all of the personal injury cases in that mine disaster.
If your family has lost a loved one due to a fire or a methane explosion, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim or take part in a class action lawsuit. You can also seek damages for burns or other types of injuries resulting from these accidents. Coal miners can also suffer from chemical exposure or silica lung due to breathing in dust while working in the mine.
Regardless of the circumstances, all workers deserve a just outcome and fair compensation for their suffering.
