About Mine Injury Attorney
Protecting the People Who Power America
For generations, miners have performed some of the most demanding and dangerous work in America. From underground coal mines to surface mining operations, these workers put in long hours in challenging conditions to provide the resources that help power our homes, businesses, industries, and communities.
When a miner is seriously injured, however, the impact extends far beyond the mine site. A devastating injury can affect a worker’s ability to earn a living, provide for a family, and enjoy the life he or she worked so hard to build.
Having represented injured workers and their families for decades, Bailey Javins & Carter, L.C. created Mine Injury Attorney to provide miners and their families with information, resources, and access to experienced legal representation when a serious workplace accident changes their lives.
Mine Injury Attorney
Mining accidents are different from many other workplace accidents. They can involve complex equipment, multiple contractors, dangerous working conditions, federal mine safety regulations, and questions about whether companies other than the injured miner’s employer contributed to the accident.
Understanding what happened — and who may be responsible — can require an investigation that goes well beyond filing a workers’ compensation claim.
Mine Injury Attorney is designed to help injured miners and their families better understand their rights following serious accidents involving roof falls and rib collapses, mining machinery, haulage equipment, conveyors, electrical hazards, explosions, fires, unsafe working conditions, and other hazards encountered in mining operations.
Our goal is simple: give miners and their families the information they need and provide experienced legal help when they need someone fighting for them.
Experience Representing Injured Workers
Bailey Javins & Carter, L.C. is a West Virginia law firm with a long history of representing workers who have suffered serious and catastrophic injuries.
Our attorneys understand that a mine accident can leave a family facing far more than medical bills. Lost income, permanent disability, rehabilitation, future medical care, and uncertainty about whether an injured miner will ever be able to return to work can quickly become overwhelming.
That is why we look beyond the immediate injury. When appropriate, our attorneys investigate the circumstances surrounding an accident to determine whether unsafe practices, defective equipment, contractors, manufacturers, or other third parties may have contributed to a miner’s injuries.
For families who have lost a loved one in a mining accident, we can also investigate the circumstances of the death and help the family understand the legal options that may be available.
Standing With Miners and Their Families
Miners spend their careers doing work that most people will never experience and few fully understand. They deserve attorneys who appreciate the risks of the job and recognize what is at stake when an accident occurs.
Mine Injury Attorney was created for those workers and their families.
They power America. We fight for them.
