Work-Related Car Accidents in Philadelphia
Philadelphia is Pennsylvania's largest city with hundreds of thousands of workers commuting, making deliveries, driving between job sites, and traveling for business every day. When a car accident happens while you're working, the legal situation becomes more complex than a typical auto accident.
Common work-related car accidents in Philadelphia include:
- Delivery drivers for Amazon, UPS, FedEx, USPS, and food delivery services
- Rideshare drivers for Uber and Lyft
- Construction workers traveling between job sites
- Sales representatives making client visits
- Healthcare workers traveling between patient locations
- Commercial truck drivers and CDL holders
- Service technicians (HVAC, plumbers, electricians)
Why Philadelphia Work Accident Cases Are Different
If someone else caused your accident while you were working, you likely have two separate claims:
- Workers' Compensation: Covers your medical bills and a portion of lost wages, regardless of who was at fault. Handled by Cardamone Law.
- Third-Party Personal Injury Claim: Filed against the at-fault driver, can include pain and suffering and full lost wages. Coordinated with trusted personal injury colleagues.
These claims must be carefully coordinated to maximize your total recovery. Attorney Michael Cardamone has 27 years of experience handling complex work-related accident cases in Philadelphia.
