Coal Miners Injury Claims

Have you suffered injury while working as a coal miner? If you believe you are entitled to compensation, and/or having difficulty making a claim through your employer or Coal Mine, we can help.

Coal miners by nature work in one of the most hazardous occupations in Australia where various accidents can occur and the risk of respiratory or dust related illness exists. If you were injured whilst working as a coal miner and have had difficulty claiming compensation through your employer or the workers compensation scheme of the coal mining industry, we are here to help. 

Coal mining injuries can vary due to the variety of sites, hazardous materials, heavy machinery and dangerous toxins. When accidents happen, coal miners are generally covered by the Coal Miners Insurance (CMI) scheme to provide support and compensation for injuries. However, time limits do apply. Contacts us to know your obligations and entitlements. 

Further more, if your injury occurred due to a breach in duty of care from your employer or the negligence of a coal mining site - You may be entitled to additional compensation through a common law claim or Public Liability.

CMC Lawyers go about the smartest, most effective way to ensure you get the compensation for your suffering, and ensure that minimal stress is endured by you and your loved ones. We can help you achieve compensation, including loss of earnings, pain and suffering, medical expenses, rehabilitation, and loss of life quality.

The following injuries or circumstances generally entitle you to make a compensation claim for injuries from a coal mining site:

• You were injured while working at or nearby a coal mine - Injuries happen, and nearly all coal miners are protected to receive compensation for their injuries. However, if you believe your injury was as a result of negligence on behalf of your supervisor, foreman or manager, you may be entitled to make a Common Law claim against your employer. Breaches of duty of care for building site employers include:
• Lack of Signage: Whether your injury could have been avoided if there was appropriate signage to inform of hazardous conditions.
• Equipment Failure: If you were given equipment to use that failed and resulted in your injury, you may be entitled to compensation if it was not your responsibility to test and and guarantee the integrity of the equipment used.
