Railroads and mines are each covered under a unique set of federal regulations. Railroads and interstate travel frequently pose challenges related to jurisdiction. Railcars regularly carry enormous loads and/or loads containing hazardous materials. Both above ground and underground mining also have their own unique difficulties. Inhalation of mined materials and explosions are the most noted accidents with underground mines. The rough, uneven terrain of above ground mines makes vehicular travel dangerous.

Miller Engineering has worked on past railroad mine cases concerning the following issues:

• Vehicle Accident Investigations
  • Forklifts and High-Lift Powered Industrial Trucks 
  • Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV) Accidents & Injuries
  • Railcar Accidents
• Climbing Systems, Slips & Falls, Coefficient of Friction
• Toxic Tort Litigation – Chemical Release or Inhalation of Hazardous Materials
  • Asbestos Exposure
  • Silica Exposure
• Ingress/Egress Accidents
• Back Injuries
• Explosions
• Falling Merchandise or Debris
