Accessibility and Challenges of Legal Aid for Victims of Pneumoconiosis

Abstract

Ensuring accessible legal aid for victims of pneumoconiosis is essential, yet challenging. This paper examines the accessibility and challenges of legal aid for persons affected by pneumoconiosis, a debilitating occupational disease. Despite legal frameworks aimed at protecting workers' rights, numerous obstacles hinder the efficient provision of legal aid. Ambiguous eligibility criteria, complex procedures, insufficient resources and high legal fees pose significant challenges. However, overcoming these challenges is essential to protecting the rights of pneumoconiosis victims and advancing occupational health protection.
