Legal Protections for West Virginia Logging Workers
West Virginia logging operations have been shown to be even more dangerous than coal mining in terms of the rate of workers’ compensation claims filed. Although recent state safety programs have achieved some reductions in the injuries suffered in West Virginia’s forests, many workers are still hurt every year in timber felling, cutting, and hauling.
