Common mining accidents we cover
Mine collapses
When walls and ceilings aren’t properly secured, cave-ins can cause catastrophic injuries or death.
Machinery accidents
Heavy equipment like excavators, dump trucks and loaders can cause crushing injuries, amputations and electrocution.
Vehicle collisions
Even low-speed accidents with mining vehicles can cause serious harm due to their size and weight.
Slips, trips and falls
Uneven surfaces, poor lighting and loose materials create dangerous conditions.
Gas explosions
Methane buildup in underground mines can cause devastating burns and blast injuries.
Chemical exposure
Improper handling or storage of mining chemicals can cause burns, respiratory problems and blindness.
Dust related diseases
Long-term exposure to mining dust can cause black lung disease and other serious respiratory conditions.
Repetitive strain injuries
The physical demands of mining work often lead to chronic muscle and bone injuries.
Industrial deafness
Exposure to drilling and blasting noise can cause permanent hearing loss.

Frequently
asked
questions
Are there time limits in bringing a claim?
Yes. Strict timelines apply. Contact us immediately to see whether you’re still within time for making a claim.
How much compensation can I receive?
Each claim is assessed based on the extent of your injuries and how they affect your work and daily life. We’ll give you a realistic estimate during your free consultation.
Do I need to pay a fee?
You don’t pay us a cent unless you win your case and receive compensation.
What if I was partly at fault?
You may still have a claim. Your compensation might be reduced based on your level of fault, but you could still receive significant compensation.
Can I claim if my employer says it wasn't their fault?
Yes. Employers have a duty to provide a safe workplace. Even if they blame equipment manufacturers or contractors, you may still have multiple avenues for compensation.
