PHILADELPHIA CRASH INJURIES LAWYER

Whether you’re driving a company vehicle, operating machinery, or making deliveries, a crash on the job can lead to life-altering injuries. Work-related crashes don’t just happen on highways, they occur in warehouses, parking lots, construction zones, and more. At Stern & Cohen, we fight for injured workers who’ve been hurt in any type of work-related crash, ensuring they get the care and compensation they deserve.

Common Causes of Work-Related Crashes

Crash injuries can result from a variety of on-the-job scenarios, especially in roles involving driving, heavy equipment, or high-traffic work zones. Common causes include:

• Motor vehicle collisions while on the clock
• Forklift or warehouse equipment crashes
• Construction site vehicle accidents
• Delivery truck or van incidents
• Falls from moving machinery or vehicles
• Poorly maintained equipment or road conditions
• Negligent driving by another employee or third party

These incidents can happen suddenly but lead to long-term consequences.

Types of Crash Injuries

Injuries from workplace crashes range from moderate to catastrophic. Some of the most common include:

• Whiplash and neck strain
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions
• Back and spinal cord injuries
• Broken bones and fractures
• Internal injuries and organ damage
• Lacerations or severe bruising
• PTSD or emotional trauma related to the incident

Crash victims often require emergency treatment, follow-up care, physical therapy, or even surgery and long-term rehabilitation.

Workers’ Compensation for Crash Injuries

If you were injured in a crash while performing your job duties, even if you were partially at fault, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. These benefits can help cover:

• Emergency and ongoing medical treatment
• Wage loss benefits while you recover
• Compensation for permanent injuries or disabilities
• Reimbursement for related out-of-pocket costs

Employers or insurers may attempt to shift blame or deny coverage, especially in cases involving vehicles or equipment. That’s where we step in.
