Mining incident compensation

Mining collapses can occur when the walls and ceiling of an underground mine are not properly secured. This type of accident can result in fatalities.

Many mining jobs rely on heavy machinery. This type of equipment, in the absence of proper training and maintenance, can expose workers to a variety of injuries, including crushed extremities and electric shocks.

Because of the size and power of the motor vehicles commonly used in mining, even low-speed accidents can cause significant harm to those involved.

Slips and falls can happen anywhere in the mining industry. Uneven surfaces and poorly lit workspaces are common contributing factors for accidents that result in work injury compensation payouts.

Caused by methane buildup in underground coal mines, gas explosions can result in burns, broken bones, and other devastating injuries.

If mining chemicals are not stored or handled properly, they can cause burns, breathing difficulties, and even blindness.

Despite recent improvements in safety equipment, miners are still more likely to develop conditions such as black lung as a result of being exposed to hazardous materials.

Mining is a physically demanding job that can lead to chronic muscle and bone injuries.

Many miners suffer from industrial deafness as a result of being exposed to the noise of drills and high-powered mine blasts. This condition, which causes permanent hearing loss, can be extremely debilitating.
