(215) 206-9068When you are rear-end collision accident at work - pa lawyer, the situation can feel overwhelming, but Pennsylvania law often gives injured workers two separate claims, and both can be pursued at once.
Workers' compensation applies because you were hurt in the course of your job. It is no-fault, so you receive medical coverage and wage-loss benefits regardless of who caused the crash. It does not, however, compensate you for pain and suffering.
A third-party personal injury claim targets the at-fault party directly. This is where the most significant compensation usually comes from, including full lost wages and pain and suffering that workers' comp will not pay.
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.
Yes. If you were working when it 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 comp alone.
You may still have options, including your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and your workers' comp benefits, which apply regardless of the other driver's insurance. We investigate every available source of recovery.
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.
