Injured in a crash while driving a company car, work truck, or fleet vehicle? You likely have two separate claims - and we help you maximize both.
(215) 206-9068TENS OF MILLIONS RECOVERED | FREE CONSULTATION - NO FEE UNLESS WE WINIf you were injured in an accident while driving a company-provided vehicle for work purposes, Pennsylvania law may entitle you to two separate sources of compensation:
1. Workers' Compensation - Because you were working when the accident happened, you're entitled to workers' comp benefits regardless of who was at fault. This covers medical bills and a portion of lost wages.
2. Third-Party Lawsuit - If another driver caused the crash, you can also sue that driver (and their insurance) for pain and suffering, full lost income, and other damages that workers' comp doesn't cover.
Does it matter who was at fault?
For workers' comp - no. You get benefits even if the accident was your fault. For the third-party lawsuit - yes, the other driver needs to be at least partially at fault.
What if I was driving my personal car for work?
You may still be covered. If you were on the clock running a work errand, making a delivery, or traveling for business, workers' comp typically applies - even in your own vehicle.
Will I get in trouble with my employer?
Pennsylvania law protects employees who file workers' comp claims. Your employer cannot legally retaliate against you for seeking benefits you're entitled to.
Company vehicle accidents involve complex insurance issues. That's why we use a team approach:
Attorney Michael Cardamone focuses exclusively on your workers' compensation claim - ensuring you get all medical benefits and wage loss you deserve.
Our trusted Personal Injury colleagues focus on the third-party case against the at-fault driver - maximizing your recovery for pain, suffering, and full damages.
Two experts in their fields, working together for your benefit.
Yes. Your employer's insurance company is not looking out for your best interests. They want to minimize what they pay. An attorney ensures you receive all benefits you're entitled to - and pursues the third-party claim they might not tell you about.
Be careful. Early settlement offers are almost always too low. They don't account for future medical needs, long-term wage loss, or the full extent of your injuries. Talk to a lawyer before accepting anything.
Yes. Pennsylvania follows "comparative negligence" rules. Even if you were partially at fault, you can still recover damages - just reduced by your percentage of fault. And workers' comp pays regardless of fault.
