Hurt in a car accident while working anywhere in Pennsylvania? You may have two claims at once: workers' compensation through your employer AND a third-party lawsuit against the at-fault driver. You get a Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist for your comp claim, plus a heavyweight Personal Injury attorney for the third-party case.
(215) 206-9068FREE CASE REVIEW - NO FEE UNLESS WE WINIf you were hurt in a vehicle crash while working anywhere in Pennsylvania, 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 medical treatment and roughly two-thirds of your lost wages. Workers' comp is "no-fault," so it applies even if the crash was partly your fault. It does not pay for pain and suffering or the remaining third of your wages.
If another driver caused your 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 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 work with our heavyweight Personal Injury colleagues on the third-party case so the two claims work together to maximize your total recovery.

You may have two. Workers' compensation through your employer covers your medical bills and about two-thirds of your lost wages regardless of fault. If another driver caused the crash, you can also bring a third-party personal injury claim for pain and suffering and your full wage loss. The two claims run at the same time.
