Injured in a crash while driving for UPS? As a UPS employee, you have clear workers' comp rights - plus a potential personal injury claim.
Free Case Review (215) 206-9068Unlike some delivery companies that use contractors, UPS drivers are direct employees of UPS. This means your workers' compensation benefits come directly through UPS - one of the largest employers in the country with established workers' comp processes.
However, having clear workers' comp coverage is just the start. If another driver caused your accident, you likely have a second claim worth pursuing.
Workers' comp pays medical bills and about 2/3 of your wages - but nothing for pain and suffering. A personal injury claim against the at-fault driver fills that gap and can significantly increase your total compensation.
UPS drivers handle some of the most demanding routes in the delivery industry:
Many UPS drivers are Teamsters union members. Your union provides important job protections, but it does not handle your personal injury claim against the at-fault driver. You need a lawyer for that - and we work alongside your union rights, not against them.

★★★★★ Read Our Google ReviewsIf you were injured in a vehicle crash while working for UPS Driver, Pennsylvania law may give you two separate paths to recovery at the same time, and pursuing both is usually the only way to be made whole.
Workers' compensation comes from UPS Driver's insurance carrier and is no-fault, so it applies even if the crash was partly your fault. It pays 100% of reasonable and necessary medical treatment and roughly two-thirds of your average weekly wage while you cannot work. It does not pay for pain and suffering or the final third of your wages.
A third-party personal injury claim applies when someone other than UPS Driver caused the crash, such as another motorist. That claim recovers the damages comp leaves on the table: full wage loss, pain and suffering, and more. Many injured UPS Driver workers never learn they had this second claim until it is too late.
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.
Generally no. Workers' compensation is your exclusive remedy against your employer, which means you usually cannot sue UPS Driver directly. However, you can file a workers' comp claim with UPS Driver and a separate third-party lawsuit against any other driver or party who caused the crash.
Denials are common and are not the end of the road. You have the right to appeal through the Pennsylvania workers' compensation system, and we handle that process for you. Do not assume a denial means you have no case.
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.
