Protecting Your Right to Full Compensation
At Fitzsimmons Law Firm PLLC, we want to ensure that the right party is held accountable for coal mining accidents, so that victims and their families can receive the financial support that they need to recover, rebuild, and return to the standard of life they previously enjoyed. Our team will conduct thorough investigations into the causes of the collapse to determine who is liable and fight for fair and just compensation.
A number of factors can cause coal mine collapses, including:
- Coal stockpile collapse
- Roof collapse
- Long wall shield collapse
- Methane explosion
- Runaway mine car
- Defective tools and equipment
- Lack of safety equipment
- Improper mine equipment usage
- Silica dust
The danger inherent in coal mining puts the primary responsibility for the safety of those who work in the mines on the companies and owners who mine the coal at these facilities. When injuries or deaths occur, these companies must be held liable for the damages suffered by workers and their families.
