    AbstractOn February 23/24, 2003, in Zabrze-Bielszowice coal mine, 840 m below the surface, a methane blast occurred twice. In group accidents, a total number of 35 miners were injured; the majority of them experienced extensive thermal injuries. The authors compiled a list of body injuries, including their character, severity, initial clinical assessment and types of employed medical procedures, taking into consideration also medical certification of the Social Insurance and results of medico-legal examinations of the miners. Department of Forensic Medicine in Katowice prepared comprehensive medico-legal opinions during preparatory prosecuting proceedings followed by precise, individualized opinions for the court, concerning legal qualification of the injuries, their underlying mechanisms, but also mental and physical suffering, treatment-associated hardships and prognosis for the future.
