Yes. If you drive a truck for a living and were injured in a crash caused by another motorist, Pennsylvania law generally lets you collect workers' compensation through your employer and also pursue a third-party personal injury claim against the at-fault driver. The two claims together can recover far more than workers' comp alone.
Your status matters. Many truckers are misclassified as independent contractors when they should be employees eligible for workers' comp. Even true owner-operators may have occupational accident coverage and a third-party claim. We review your contracts and coverage at no cost.
Pennsylvania workers' comp pays roughly two-thirds of your average weekly wage, tax-free, while you are unable to work. Because truckers often earn more through mileage and bonuses, calculating your true average weekly wage correctly is critical, and we make sure it includes all your earnings.
