Injured in a vehicle accident while working in Chambersburg or Franklin County? I-81 truckers, warehouse workers, manufacturing employees - you may have TWO claims.
(215) 206-9068TENS OF MILLIONS RECOVERED | FREE CONSULTATION - NO FEE UNLESS WE WINChambersburg's location on I-81 makes it a critical logistics and manufacturing hub. From truck drivers hauling freight to warehouse workers at distribution centers, work-related vehicle accidents happen daily. If you were injured, you deserve experienced legal representation.
I-81 runs directly through Franklin County, making it a major trucking corridor. Commercial drivers injured on these highways while working have rights to both workers' comp and potential third-party claims.
Franklin County's growing warehouse and distribution sector employs thousands. From forklift operators to delivery drivers, these workers face daily road hazards.
JLG Industries, T.B. Wood's, and other manufacturers employ workers who drive between facilities, make deliveries, or travel to job sites.
We handle your workers' comp claim while our Personal Injury colleagues pursue the at-fault driver. Two experts, maximum recovery.
I-81, Route 30 (Lincoln Highway), and Route 11 see heavy commercial traffic. The mix of trucks, commuters, and agricultural vehicles creates hazardous conditions throughout the county.
If you were hurt in a vehicle crash while working in Chambersburg, 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 Chambersburg 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 Chambersburg 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 Chambersburg is typically covered for medical bills and wage loss.
