Lawsuits & Legal Action
Typically a lawsuit is the best choice of action, because through this you can get financial compensation, this may sound materialistic but its about knowing that you are able to live a healthy lifestyle without your loved one, or you can make greater appeals to the court, such as making the opposed parties announce a formal apology to you and your family for the sadness they have caused.
However most of the time it is difficult to try and make the court see that the mining company should pay out compensation as they should already have a generous pension and widower’s scheme underlined to you. Although if the case was the miners were falsely informed that they could enter the mine or if they were given instructions that seemed ridiculously dangerous to them and their team it makes sense for the blame to be placed on them.
Therefore placing a lawsuit on a mining company may seem like a large task however, if the press have reported the actions of the company to the nation then they may suggest an out of court settlement to prevent a further bashing of there companies name, so in all it can be a relatively simple task to take on but the repercussions of it such as emotional stress may be too much to handle for some people and cause them great distress, so it is recommended that action only be taken if the person is up to the task.
