North Wales sits at a busy intersection of commuter routes. Workers traveling through here face risks on Route 202, Sumneytown Pike, and Welsh Road daily.
If you were hurt while driving for work, you may be entitled to:
You get two specialists, not one jack-of-all-trades. We focus on your workers' comp claim while our trusted Personal Injury colleagues focus on the third-party case. Two experts in their fields, working together to maximize your total recovery.
Our office is nearby in Lansdale. We can meet in person to discuss your case.
If you were hurt in a vehicle crash while working in North Wales, 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 North Wales 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 North Wales 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 North Wales is typically covered for medical bills and wage loss.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee, which means there is no fee unless we win your case, and your consultation is always free. Call (215) 206-9068 to speak with us today.
