LOGGERS

Workers’ Compensation for Loggers

Logging consistently ranks in the top five as one of the most dangerous jobs in the United States. Not only is the job physically demanding, but most job sites are in remote locations which means you’re far from medical attention if an accident happens. If you work in the logging industry and have been injured on the job, worker’s compensation can help cover some or all of your medical costs.

With over 40 years of experience in workers’ compensation, our skilled attorneys can help you with your claim. Let Martin Law help you get the compensation you deserve as a logger. Call us at 215.587.8400 for a free consultation.
