Logging Accidents

Logging is considered a dangerous job to work. Because of this, logging incidents are very common. In general, logging incidents are associated with both the tools used for the job as well as the environment in which the job is performed. Logging tools include logging machines, chain saws, and other tools, which can be dangerous if they are defective, poorly maintained, or misused. In terms of the environment, uneven terrain, unstable terrain, weather conditions, and other factors can increase danger and lead to incidents.

Without a doubt, both tool and environmental hazards can result in incidents that can cause injuries. Victims could suffer head injuries, brain injuries, neck injuries, back injuries, spinal cord injuries, lacerations, severed limbs, crushing injuries, impaling injuries, and many other types of injuries. Regardless of the specific injuries resulting from the logging incident, you might have grounds to take action against your employer.

File Within the Statute of Limitations

Are you interested in pursuing a logging accident claim? If so, it is important that you file your claim within the appropriate length of time. All personal injury claims are subject to a statute of limitations. A statute of limitations determines the total length of time that claimants have to sue. If claimants do not file their claims on time, they could lose their right to pursue a claim entirely. What statute of limitations applies to your claim? In California, personal injury claims are normally subject to a two-year statute of limitations; this means that claimants only have two years to pursue their claim. This applies to both workplace incidents and product liability incidents.

However, if you are pursuing a claim through OSHA, the applicable deadline might be different. To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the total length of time that you have to pursue your claim against your employer, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm as soon as possible. Our lawyers will ensure that you file your claim within the appropriate length of time.
