Every day, working people across Greene County — from Waynesburg to Carmichaels — share the road with heavy traffic on I-79 and US-19. The heavy coal- and gas-industry truck traffic on rural roads only raises the risk for anyone who drives as part of the job. If you were hurt in a crash while working, you may have two separate claims, and most injured workers never realize it.
Pennsylvania law allows injured workers to pursue both:
We handle the workers' comp claim directly. Our respected Personal Injury colleagues handle the third-party lawsuit. You get maximum recovery from both sources.
Free consultation. 27 years experience. $50+ million recovered.

If you were hurt in a vehicle crash while working in Greene County, you may be entitled to pursue two separate claims at the same time. Understanding both is the difference between recovering only part of your losses and recovering everything you are owed.
Since the wreck happened while you were working, your employer’s workers’ compensation should pay for all of your reasonable medical care and about two-thirds of the wages you lose during recovery. Because comp is a "no-fault" system, you qualify even if you were partly to blame — but it will not compensate you for pain and suffering or that last third of your wages.
If a negligent driver caused the Greene County collision, you can pursue a personal injury claim against them on top of your comp benefits. The third-party case is where the damages comp ignores — pain and suffering and 100% of lost wages — are finally recovered.
How we work: Attorney Michael Cardamone is a Certified Workers’ Compensation Specialist who handles your comp claim directly, and we coordinate with our heavyweight Personal Injury colleagues on the third-party case so the two claims work together to maximize your total recovery.
Greene County's economy runs on coal mining, natural gas extraction, agriculture, and energy — and the people in those jobs are on the road constantly. Delivery drivers, home health aides, contractors, route salespeople, and tradespeople travel between Waynesburg, Carmichaels, and Jefferson every shift. The heavy coal- and gas-industry truck traffic on rural roads means a work-related wreck here is rarely a fender-bender.
If you drive for a living, or even just drive between job sites, a serious crash on I-79 can put you out of work for months. That is exactly when knowing your full legal options matters most.
I-79, US-19, and PA-21 carry the heaviest mix of commercial and commuter traffic in Greene County. The heavy coal- and gas-industry truck traffic on rural roads makes these routes especially risky for delivery drivers, tradespeople, and anyone who drives as part of their job. If you were hurt in a crash on any of them while working, you may have both a workers' comp claim and a separate third-party case.
Yes. If you were working when the crash happened in Greene County and another driver was at fault, Pennsylvania law generally lets you collect workers' compensation through your employer and file a separate third-party claim against the at-fault driver. The two claims together recover far more than workers' comp alone.
You can still receive workers' compensation, because it is a no-fault system. Your right to comp benefits does not depend on who caused the accident, so even an at-fault worker injured on the job in Greene County is typically covered for medical bills and wage loss.
