Injured in a vehicle accident while working in Carlisle or Cumberland County? Distribution center workers, truckers on I-81, Army War College staff - you may have TWO claims.
(215) 206-9068TENS OF MILLIONS RECOVERED | FREE CONSULTATION - NO FEE UNLESS WE WINCarlisle sits at the crossroads of Pennsylvania's major trucking routes. With massive distribution centers, the U.S. Army War College, and heavy I-81/I-76 traffic, work-related vehicle accidents are unfortunately common. If you were injured while working, you deserve experienced legal representation.
Carlisle is a logistics hub with Amazon, Chewy, and dozens of other distribution centers. Truck drivers, warehouse workers who drive forklifts in parking areas, and delivery personnel face daily road hazards.
The I-81/I-76 interchange makes Carlisle a trucking epicenter. Commercial drivers injured on these highways while working have rights to both workers' comp and potential third-party claims.
The U.S. Army War College and Carlisle Barracks employ many civilian workers who drive for work duties.
We handle your workers' comp claim while our Personal Injury colleagues pursue the at-fault driver. Two experts, maximum recovery.
I-81, I-76 (PA Turnpike), Route 11, and Route 15 see constant heavy truck traffic. The mix of commercial vehicles and commuters creates hazardous conditions, especially around the many distribution center entrances.
If you were hurt in a vehicle crash while working in Carlisle, you may be entitled to pursue two separate claims at the same time. Understanding both is the difference between recovering only part of your losses and recovering everything you are owed.
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.
If another driver caused your Carlisle crash, you can also bring a personal injury claim against that at-fault driver. This is where pain and suffering, full wage loss, and other damages are recovered. Workers' comp does not allow these damages, which is why pursuing the third-party case is so important.
How we work: Attorney Michael Cardamone is a Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist who handles your comp claim directly, and we coordinate with our heavyweight Personal Injury colleagues on the third-party case so the two claims work together to maximize your total recovery.
Yes. If you were working when the crash happened in Carlisle 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 Carlisle is typically covered for medical bills and wage loss.
