Specialist coal mining injury representation
The Hunter has the largest coal mining workforce in NSW, and mining injury claims carry their own rules, risk factors, and industry-specific schemes on top of the general workers compensation framework. With 45 years’ in law, Whitelaw McDonald’s Stuart Barnett is one of the most experienced lawyers in coal mine compensation law in NSW and has spent decades specifically in this space – including underground and open cut claims, dust disease exposure, and hearing loss claims common in mining roles. Similarly, Laura Barnett has over a decade in personal injury law predominantly in the coal mine space, regularly appearing before the District Court and also appearing in the Supreme Court in coal mine common law and third party common law claims.
