“Whitelaw McDonald, thank you for helping me with ongoing injuries suffered in 46 years in underground mining. With coal miners insurance you help with our rights in compensation. Since getting involved with my case I have spoken to many retired miners. I made them aware of their rights and passed them onto John McDonald.
Underground miners work in conditions that can be dangerous. They deserve to be compensated for their injuries that impact on their lives in retirement.”
