Territory drivers and sales representatives spend hours on the road every day. If you were injured in a crash while traveling for work, you may have two separate claims.
(215) 206-9068FREE CONSULTATION - NO FEE UNLESS WE WINAs a sales representative, account manager, or field service professional, driving is a core part of your job. You visit clients, prospects, and accounts across your territory - putting in hundreds of miles every week. That exposure means higher accident risk.
The good news: when a work-related car accident happens, Pennsylvania law provides multiple avenues for compensation that many traveling professionals don't know about.
Workers' Compensation - Even though you weren't in an office or warehouse, you were working. Any crash that happens while traveling for work purposes is covered - medical bills, wage loss benefits, and more.
Third-Party Lawsuit - If another driver caused your crash, you can sue them separately. This claim covers pain and suffering, full income loss, and other damages workers' comp doesn't pay.

Traveling employee accidents have unique complications. We use a team approach:
Attorney Michael Cardamone focuses on your workers' comp claim - ensuring your employer's insurance covers all medical treatment and wage loss benefits.
Our trusted Personal Injury colleagues handle the third-party case against the at-fault driver - pursuing full compensation for pain, suffering, and complete damages.
Two experts, working together to maximize your total recovery.
Many sales reps drive their own vehicles and receive a car allowance or mileage reimbursement. As long as you were traveling for work purposes (not commuting), workers' comp typically applies.
Generally, the "going and coming" rule excludes normal commutes. But for traveling employees whose work requires road travel, the analysis is different - most work trips are covered.
Minor deviations (getting gas, grabbing coffee) typically don't break coverage. Major detours might. We can analyze your specific situation.
Possibly. Many employers misclassify employees as contractors. We can evaluate whether you should be entitled to workers' comp benefits.
