What should I look for in a mining workplace injury attorney?

It’s important that you get an attorney who actually understands the mining atmosphere, the type of equipment involved, the rules and regulations that apply to this type of work and the actual workings of a coal mine and what it means to work in a coal mine. At Bailey Javins & Carter were the only law firm in the state of West Virginia that handled claims for families in Sago, Upper Big Branch and Aracoma. We’ve handled more workplace fatalities in the coal mines since 2005 than any of the firm in the state of West Virginia. It’s important that you have a lawyer who understands these rules and regulations that specifically apply to coal mines in order to get a successful result for your case.
