Why These Corridors Are So Dangerous
The I-78/I-81 corridor is the main trucking route connecting the Port of New York/New Jersey to the rest of America. The Lehigh Valley has become the "Warehouse Capital of the East Coast" with massive Amazon, FedEx, Walmart, and other distribution centers lining these highways.
This concentration of commercial truck traffic means workers in this region face elevated risks - whether you're a construction worker on a highway project, a warehouse employee, a delivery driver, or anyone else whose job puts you near these roads.
"I've handled dozens of cases from the I-78/I-81 corridor. The trucking density there is incredible - and so is the danger. Construction workers, warehouse employees, delivery drivers - they're all at elevated risk. When you're hit by a commercial truck, the injuries are almost always serious. But remember: you likely have TWO separate claims. Your workers' comp covers you regardless of fault. And the third-party claim against the trucking company - that's where the real compensation comes from. We handle the workers' comp; our top-tier Personal Injury colleagues go after the trucking company."
