What should I do if I hit my head at work?

Seek immediate medical attention, report the injury to your employer within 120 days, document everything, and contact a Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist. You may have two separate claims: workers' comp and a potential third-party personal injury case.

Can I get workers' compensation for a brain injury in Pennsylvania?

Yes. Pennsylvania workers' compensation covers work-related traumatic brain injuries regardless of fault. Benefits include 100% medical coverage, wage loss benefits, and potentially a large cash settlement.

What is the 'two claims' approach for work-related brain injuries?

If your work-related brain injury was caused or contributed to by a third party (not your employer), you may have both a workers' compensation claim AND a separate personal injury lawsuit. The personal injury claim can provide additional compensation including pain and suffering, which workers' comp does not cover.

How much is a work-related brain injury case worth?

Settlement values vary based on injury severity, lasting effects, and liability. Moderate to severe TBI cases can range from $250,000 to over $1,000,000 in workers' comp alone. With a third-party claim, total recovery can be significantly higher. We have achieved many 7-figure results.

Do I have to pay upfront for a brain injury lawyer?

No. We work on a contingency fee basis - you pay no fee unless we win your case. Consultations are free 24/7.

What if my workers' compensation claim was denied?

A denial is not the end. Many legitimate brain injury claims are initially denied. A Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist can file an appeal, gather additional medical evidence, and fight for your benefits before a Workers' Compensation Judge.

Work-Related Brain Injuries in Lehigh County

Lehigh County, anchored by Allentown, is at the heart of one of the fastest-growing logistics hubs on the East Coast. Its workforce in warehousing, healthcare (led by Lehigh Valley Health Network and St. Luke's), manufacturing, and construction faces real risks of work-related traumatic brain injury - especially with the explosion of distribution centers along the I-78 and Route 22 corridors.

If you suffered a head injury working in Allentown, Bethlehem, Emmaus, or anywhere in Lehigh County, you may be entitled to workers' compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and disability - regardless of fault. When a third party caused the accident - such as a staffing agency, equipment manufacturer, or negligent driver - our Personal Injury colleagues can pursue a separate claim for pain and suffering.

TBIs from warehouse and construction accidents often produce delayed symptoms that worsen over the following days. Attorney Michael Cardamone is a Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist serving injured workers throughout the Lehigh Valley.
