Kentucky Mining Accident Lawyer

Skilled Counsel in Kentucky Coal Mine Accidents

For many people injured or killed in mining accidents, Kentucky workers’ compensation will be the only source to provide income for the family. In some cases, however, it will be possible to bring a lawsuit for personal injury or wrongful death damages against a negligent defendant other than the employer. This could open the door for recovering damages for the full amount of your loss.
