Co-defendants are other companies who may be liable for part of the claim, depending on the claimant’s work history. These may be a coalmining contractor, a mine that is privately owned, or a company in a non-mining industry that deals with substances which could lead to respiratory disease. The presence of a co-defendant may slow down the progress of a claim.
