Federal Black Lung Defense
Robinson & McElwee represents West Virginia employers and insurers in Federal Black Lung cases. Our Federal Black Lung defense attorneys and non-legal personnel are experienced in providing effective, cost efficient representation. The Robinson & McElwee Federal Black Lung practice group provides clients with the advantage of experienced attorney representation while experienced non-legal personnel manage the litigation files and gather evidence. This reduces litigation costs. Our Federal Black Lung defense group provides a broad spectrum of services including the defense of claims at the Department of Labor level, the Office of Administrative Law Judges, the Benefits Review Board, the federal circuit courts of appeals, and the United States Supreme Court of Appeals. Robinson & McElwee’s Federal Black Lung attorneys have also been involved in representing employers in negotiations involving the sale or purchase of coal properties with regard to provisions addressing prior and subsequent liability for Federal Black Lung claims. We have also consulted self-insurers regarding their self-administration of claims and addressed insurance coverage issues, and we monitor case law, legislative, and regulatory changes.
