Coal mining is central to the economies of Logan and Mingo Counties—but it remains one of the most dangerous jobs in the country.
Common Coal Mining Injuries:
- Crush injuries from cave-ins or equipment
- Lung disease from coal dust exposure
- Burns or explosions from gas buildup
What You Can Do:
- File a workers’ comp claim
- Seek third-party claims if equipment was defective
- Pursue long-term medical benefits for permanent damage
