Black Lung in Emerald

Know Your Rights

Pneumoconiosis, commonly known as black lung, is a serious and often progressive lung disease caused by coal dust exposure.

Your Right to Compensation

If your black lung diagnosis is linked to coal dust exposure through your employment, you may be entitled to compensation under Queensland’s workers' compensation scheme. Benefits can include medical expenses, income support, and lump sum payouts. In some cases, a common law claim may be available if negligence is proven. At Chris Trevor & Associates, we help Emerald clients understand and access their entitlements. Our goal is to achieve the best possible result with minimal stress to you. With no win, no fee arrangements and free consultations, we ensure justice is within reach for regional workers.
