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.
