Injured driving to a job site? Hit by a vehicle in a work zone? Construction workers face unique dangers - and may have TWO separate claims for maximum compensation.

Construction work involves constant travel and roadway exposure. Whether you're driving company trucks between job sites, operating heavy equipment on highways, or working in an active work zone when a vehicle strikes - these accidents can cause devastating injuries.
The good news: if another driver caused your crash, you likely have two separate legal claims - and we help you maximize both.
Traveling between construction sites in a company vehicle or personal truck when another driver causes a crash.
Hit by a vehicle while working on or near a roadway - highway construction, utility work, or road repairs.
Accidents while operating or transporting heavy machinery, dump trucks, concrete mixers, or other construction vehicles.
Picking up or delivering construction materials when a collision occurs.
"Construction workers are some of the most vulnerable people on our roads. I've seen too many cases where a worker was struck by a distracted driver in a work zone. Here's what you need to know: fault isn't relevant in Workers' Compensation. Even if you stepped outside the cones, you still have a Work Comp case. For the third-party claim against the driver, we need to show their negligence - and drivers who hit workers in marked work zones are almost always negligent."
Claim #1: Workers' Compensation - Covers your medical bills and lost wages, regardless of fault. Available through your employer's insurance.
Claim #2: Third-Party Lawsuit - If another driver caused the crash, you can sue them for pain and suffering, full lost income, and other damages workers' comp doesn't cover.

Yes. If you were working when the crash happened and someone else was at fault, Pennsylvania law generally lets you collect workers' compensation through your employer and pursue a separate third-party claim against the at-fault party. The two together recover far more than workers' comp alone.
No. Pennsylvania workers' compensation only covers medical bills and roughly two-thirds of lost wages. Pain and suffering can only be recovered through a third-party personal injury claim against the driver or party who caused the crash.
