When a Giant Food Stores employee is injured in a work-related crash, Pennsylvania law allows two separate claims:
We handle workers' comp at Cardamone Law. Our Personal Injury colleagues handle the lawsuit. You get maximum recovery.
27 years experience. $50+ million recovered. Free consultation.
(215) 206-9068If you were injured in a vehicle crash while working for Giant Food Stores Employee, Pennsylvania law may give you two separate paths to recovery at the same time, and pursuing both is usually the only way to be made whole.
Workers' compensation comes from Giant Food Stores's insurance carrier and is no-fault, so it applies even if the crash was partly your fault. It pays 100% of reasonable and necessary medical treatment and roughly two-thirds of your average weekly wage while you cannot work. It does not pay for pain and suffering or the final third of your wages.
A third-party personal injury claim applies when someone other than Giant Food Stores Employee caused the crash, such as another motorist. That claim recovers the damages comp leaves on the table: full wage loss, pain and suffering, and more. Many injured Giant Food Stores Employee workers never learn they had this second claim until it is too late.
How we work: Attorney Michael Cardamone is a Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist who handles your workers' comp claim directly, and we coordinate with our heavyweight Personal Injury colleagues on any third-party case so the two work together to maximize your total recovery.
Generally no. Workers' compensation is your exclusive remedy against your employer, which means you usually cannot sue Giant Food Stores directly. However, you can file a workers' comp claim with Giant Food Stores Employee and a separate third-party lawsuit against any other driver or party who caused the crash.
Denials are common and are not the end of the road. You have the right to appeal through the Pennsylvania workers' compensation system, and we handle that process for you. Do not assume a denial means you have no case.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee, so there is no fee unless we win your case, and your consultation is always free. Call (215) 206-9068.
