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
