From Montrose to Hallstead, the workers who keep Susquehanna County running spend their days behind the wheel on roads like I-81 and US-11. The heavy gas-industry truck traffic on rural roads near the New York line only adds to the danger. When a crash happens on the clock, Pennsylvania law may give you two separate claims — not just one.
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.

When you are injured in a crash on the job in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania law may let you bring two claims side by side. Knowing the difference between them is what separates a partial recovery from a full one.
Because you were injured in the course of your job, your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance should cover 100% of your reasonable and necessary medical treatment and roughly two-thirds of your lost wages while you recover. Workers’ comp is "no-fault," so it applies even if the crash was partly your fault. What it does not pay for is pain and suffering or the remaining third of your wages.
When someone else was at fault for your Susquehanna County wreck, a separate personal injury claim against that driver lets you recover what comp cannot — pain and suffering, your complete wage loss, and other damages. That is exactly why the third-party case is so valuable.
How we work: Your comp claim is handled directly by Attorney Michael Cardamone, a Certified Workers’ Compensation Specialist, and our heavyweight Personal Injury colleagues pursue the case against the at-fault driver, keeping both claims aligned to maximize your overall recovery.
Susquehanna County's economy runs on natural gas extraction, agriculture, dairy farming, and healthcare — and the people in those jobs are on the road constantly. Delivery drivers, home health aides, contractors, route salespeople, and tradespeople travel between Montrose, Hallstead, and Susquehanna every shift. The heavy gas-industry truck traffic on rural roads near the New York line 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-81 can put you out of work for months. That is exactly when knowing your full legal options matters most.
I-81, US-11, and US-6 carry the heaviest mix of commercial and commuter traffic in Susquehanna County. The heavy gas-industry truck traffic on rural roads near the New York line 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 Susquehanna 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 Susquehanna County is typically covered for medical bills and wage loss.
