Mining operators, contractors and support companies look to us to defend mining accidents of all types. Our past experience includes successful resolution of high profile cases which have been followed by the national media. We have also defended less sensational, but equally high-exposure, cases in federal and state courts of many jurisdictions.

We understand the distinct challenges of defending mining accidents. Our experience has taught us the technical language used by miners and operators. We are able to quickly, confidently and accurately communicate with our clients using this industry terminology. This hands-on industry experience has been augmented by advanced education from the National Mine Health and Safety Academy in Beaver, West Virginia. Our attorneys are also familiar with the complications presented at trial by the overlapping state and federal regulations applicable to mining operations and the agencies that investigate mining accidents.

The vast scope of mining operations is reflected in the diversity of cases our attorneys have handled. From the largest underground mines to massive surface operations, we have defended claims of wrongful death and catastrophic injury accidents involving: chemical exposure, fires, explosions, electrocutions, earth moving equipment, conveyor equipment, diesel and electric underground equipment.

Mining litigation is a specialized area of law. Our attorneys have the knowledge to successfully defend these cases from the time of accident through the end of the trial. Our understanding of the needs of mining operators, and the many supporting industries that surround mining, along with our extensive trial experience, make Mannion and Gray the ideal choice of attorneys to defend mining cases.
