Who Can Be Held Liable?
These third parties may be responsible for your injuries — giving you a second claim:
Understanding Your Rights
Warehouse and distribution work has exploded across Pennsylvania, and so have the brain injuries that come with it. The push for speed and productivity quotas means forklifts, pallet jacks, conveyors, and towering storage racks are in constant motion around workers on foot. A single forklift strike, a box falling from a high rack, or a slip on a loading dock can cause a concussion or a far more serious traumatic brain injury.
Every injured warehouse worker in Pennsylvania is entitled to workers' compensation benefits regardless of fault. But many warehouse injuries also involve an outside company — a forklift manufacturer whose equipment malfunctioned, a third-party delivery driver, a maintenance contractor who failed to service machinery, or a staffing agency that put you to work without proper training. When that's the case, you may have a second, separate claim.
Because so many warehouse workers are hired through temp and staffing agencies, the question of 'who is responsible' can get complicated quickly. We sort out the workers' compensation claim and investigate every potential third-party defendant so your total recovery reflects everyone who contributed to your injury.
"Don't let insurance companies fool you — concussions and post-concussion syndrome are mostly clinical diagnoses based on subjective symptoms. Just because your CT or MRI is negative doesn't rule out a Traumatic Brain Injury. In fact, most people with TBIs have negative diagnostic imaging studies."

I work through a temp agency — am I still covered?+
Yes. Temporary and staffing-agency workers are entitled to Pennsylvania workers' compensation just like permanent employees. Depending on who controlled the worksite and the equipment, you may also have a third-party claim against the host warehouse or another company.
A forklift hit me — who can be held responsible?+
Beyond workers' compensation, potential third parties include the forklift manufacturer if it was defective, a maintenance company that failed to service it, or another company's driver who operated it negligently. We investigate each possibility.
Falling merchandise hit my head. Is that a brain injury claim?+
It can be. Being struck on the head by boxes, pallets, or product falling from racking is a common cause of workplace TBI. Even if you didn't lose consciousness, persistent headaches, dizziness, or memory issues warrant immediate medical evaluation and may support a claim.
