Coal mine owners and operators are held to strict state and federal regulations regarding the safety of the facilities and equipment as well as the proper training of employees. When these regulations are not upheld, causing an accident that results in serious injury or even death, the owners and/or operators of the facility may be held liable.

West Virginia's laws can help you recover what you need

West Virginia has a state law addressing "deliberate intent." In certain instances, injured employees can sue their employer if they were hurt as a result of unsafe conditions of which the employer was consciously aware. Our legal team of West Virginia personal injury attorneys have extensive experience in coal mining accident claims, and we are prepared to evaluate your case and determine if deliberate intent was involved.

We can also help you file a third-party claim for additional compensation if the negligence of a third party was responsible for the accident. You may be able to seek compensation for damages such as pain and suffering and emotional distress.

You deserve to recover every possible form of compensation for the injuries you suffered. If you were injured in coal mining accident, contact our firm for a free consultation with one of our attorneys.
