Gas Explosions
Gas explosions are caused by the release of methane from coal beds. These gasses are generally confined and built up and they explode due to high pressure as they cannot find an escape. This could result in serious injury with a lot of pain and suffering, impairment, or even death.
Faulty Machinery
Defective machinery in the workplace often shifts liability in claims of workers compensation to the employer. Employers must act in good faith and prevent possible injuries in the workplace. Improving or refurbishing machinery can greatly reduce the risk of liability.

Accidents Involving Hazardous Chemicals
Carbon monoxide is a hazardous gas that can claim lives within minutes. Hydrogen sulfide is colorless and poisonous. These dangerous chemicals create explosions or respiratory health conditions in miners. Consequently, these toxic chemicals introduce a floodgate of injuries.

Black Lung, Asbestos Exposure & Other Respiratory Diseases
Due to the stagnant air flow in coal mines, breathable air is minimal. In coal mines, there's a lot of harmful dust particles which when inhaled can have a hugely negative impact on the respiratory systems of miners.
