A rib and chest injuries can change your ability to earn a living, and the value of your claim depends on documenting both the immediate harm and the long-term effects. If the injury happened in a vehicle crash while you were working, you may have two claims working in parallel.
Workers' compensation covers your medical care and a portion of lost wages regardless of fault. For a serious rib and chest injuries, it may also provide specific-loss benefits for permanent loss or loss of use. What it never covers is pain and suffering.
A third-party claim against an at-fault driver is where the full value of a rib and chest injuries is recovered, including pain and suffering, diminished earning capacity, and future medical needs. Properly valuing these injuries often requires medical experts, which we arrange.
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.
It depends on the severity, the cost of your medical care, how long you are out of work, and whether the injury is permanent. Because workers' comp does not pay for pain and suffering, the third-party claim is usually where the largest part of a rib and chest injuries's value is recovered. We can give you an honest assessment for free.
Many serious injuries have long-term or delayed effects. That is exactly why it is important not to settle too early and to have your future medical needs properly documented. We work with medical experts to make sure your claim reflects the full, long-term impact.
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.
