Wrongful Death in Coal Mining Accidents
Coal mining is one of our country's most dangerous occupations and despite efforts by miners and the government, safety and MSHA violations continue to occur, resulting in many types of injuries and miner fatalities. For the year 2010, MSHA reports that there were 8,523 injuries and 71 deaths to miners.
If a miner is killed by the negligent actions of another person or company, this is known as a wrongful death. Regardless of whether the fatality was willful or not, the heirs of the deceased and other beneficiaries may be entitled to bring a wrongful death lawsuit against the person or company who was liable for the accident. Survivors of a deceased miner frequently find themselves in need of financial assistance so that they can carry on with their lives and that is the purpose of this legal action.
