Your stories
Alli B.
Jasper AL
My name is Alli. When I was 16, I was involved in a car accident late on a Friday night as I was heading home from hanging out with my friends. It was one of the scariest moments of my life and left me hurt and afraid to drive for quite some time. When I called The King Firm, they spent a bunch of time with me so they could understand not only what happened during the accident, but how I felt and how my healing was coming along. They worked diligently on my case and fought for the justice I needed to move on with my life. Their hard work led to a successful resolution of my case. I would send any of my friends or family members to Jimmy King and his team because I know they will be in the best hands.
Mining Injuries
Serving Since 1973
Coal mining has long been the lifeblood of many communities, especially throughout Alabama and the greater Appalachian and Southeastern mining regions. It remains one of the most dangerous professions in America. The King Firm has represented miners and their families for decades, standing up to powerful corporations and insurers to secure justice for those injured underground or on the surface. Our attorneys have a deep understanding of mining law, safety standards, and the unique hazards miners face every day.
A Legacy Rooted in the Mining Community
Jimmy King, owner and senior partner of The King Firm, comes from a coal mining family. His father was a miner, his brothers and sister were miners, his uncles were miners, and many of his closest friends were miners. Jimmy is intimately familiar with the struggles miners face and the sacrifices they make.
For decades, he has personally represented hundreds of miners and their families against major mining corporations throughout Alabama and the Southeast.
This background gives The King Firm a unique perspective: we don’t just understand mining cases — we understand miners.
Our attorneys are currently licensed in the state of Alabama, but may enter cases in other states via pro hac vice admission, subject to state statutes, professional standards, and court rules.
Dedicated to Mining Families Across the Southeast
The King Firm is proud to serve the men and women who power the region’s economy — from Alabama’s historic coal communities to mining families throughout the Southeast. If you or a loved one has been injured in a mining accident, contact The King Firm today for a free consultation.
Our attorneys will stand by you — in and out of court — to ensure your rights are protected, your case is heard, and justice is achieved.
Understanding the Risks of Coal Mining
Despite technological advances, mining continues to present serious dangers. Accidents can result from:
-
Equipment failure
-
Roof or wall collapses
-
Fire and explosions
-
Electrical hazards
-
Vehicle collisions underground
-
Exposure to harmful dust, gases, or chemicals
Many of these incidents are preventable. From inadequate training to ignored safety warnings, too many injuries occur because employers cut corners or fail to prioritize worker safety. These injuries can lead to lifelong disability, chronic respiratory disease, catastrophic harm, or death.
The King Firm works tirelessly to hold responsible parties accountable and ensure injured miners receive the full compensation they deserve.
