We have successfully handled claims involving underground mining injuries, including blasting injuries and trauma caused by cave-ins, explosions and electrocutions.

At Duffield & Lovejoy, PLLC, we will put all of our efforts into getting the company to pay for your losses. This includes compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, the cost of rehabilitation or physical therapy and for the physical pain and suffering caused by the coal mining injury.

Our attorneys use cutting edge technology to examine accident scenes and analyze evidence. We also employ computer-generated accident reenactments to help juries better understand how accidents occurred. We prefer to examine accidents scenes ourselves, rather than rely on investigators, as doing so gives us a better understanding of what happened and helps us prepare the best legal arguments on behalf of our clients.
