Deep Underground or Open Pit, We Protect Nevada’s Miners.
Mining is woven into the very fabric of Nevada’s history, but it remains one of the most hazardous industries in the world. Miners work long hours in incredibly dangerous environments involving heavy machinery, explosives, and toxic dust.
When a miner is injured, the stakes are usually very high. Injuries are often catastrophic, and the mining companies have armies of attorneys ready to defend their interests and point the finger at the worker.
Overcoming Blame and Denials
Mining companies and their insurers will routinely try to deny claims by arguing that the worker violated safety protocols or didn’t wear proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). We know how to defeat these tactics.
Real Results for Nevada Miners:
After years of underground hard rock mining, a client of ours developed silicosis (a severe occupational lung disease). His doctor told him he could no longer work in the mine. The employer completely denied the claim, blaming the miner for allegedly not using his respiratory protection properly. We didn’t back down. After years of relentless fighting, we overturned the denial. The miner received back pay, a substantial settlement, and vocational retraining for a new career.
Whether you’ve suffered a traumatic injury from a cave-in or equipment failure, or you’re dealing with an occupational disease from toxic exposure, Askeroth Law Group has the experience to take on the biggest mining companies in Nevada.
