Hit by a Coworker

Is This Scenario Covered by Workers' Comp?

If a coworker hits you while you're both working, you have workers' comp claims. But can you sue your coworker? Sometimes yes - especially if their conduct was egregious.

Workers commonly affected: All workers

You May Have Two Claims

If another driver was at fault, Pennsylvania law allows you to pursue both workers' compensation AND a personal injury lawsuit:

• Workers' Compensation: Medical bills and partial wages - no fault required
• Personal Injury: Full damages including pain and suffering from the at-fault driver
