Q: A mine worker suffering from PTSD due to a mine accident due to carelessness of employer, was fired by the employer because of inability to work underground. Can he get disability pension?
--Roy
Attorney Cliff Horwitz:
He certainly has a WC case. As to whether he has a disability pension would be based on the reading of the contract he has with his employer. If he is a unions member, then he will need to read the collective bargaining agreement or contact his business agent.
