Logging Hazards
Although the industry does not play as significant a role in Pennsylvania’s economy as it once did, logging still provides employment and lumber for many people and projects. The labor is dangerous, however, and individuals who are involved in logging and millwork are exposed to many occupational hazards that are foreign to employees who toil in other fields. The most serious workplace accidents can leave a family in shambles as they must cope with the unexpected and sudden loss of a loved one. There are many different circumstances that can increase the likelihood of a job-related fatality and which may warrant a legal action.
