Michael Cardamone, Esquire
Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist
For over 27 years, I have dedicated my practice to helping Pennsylvania workers who suffer serious injuries on the job. Traumatic brain injuries are among the most devastating workplace injuries, often changing lives forever.
What many injured workers don't realize is that a work-related TBI may give rise to TWO separate legal claims: a Workers' Compensation claim AND a third-party Personal Injury case against whoever caused the accident.
As a Certified Workers' Comp Specialist, I handle your Workers' Comp claim and coordinate with the most accomplished and reputable Personal Injury attorneys at top firms across Pennsylvania to pursue your third-party claim. This two-track approach can significantly increase your total recovery.
Outside the courtroom, Attorney Cardamone is a lifelong martial artist with training in Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, and Aikido—disciplines that emphasize preparation, persistence, and never giving up. He's also an emerging EDM artist known as "The Lawyer Who Drops Beats," bringing the same passion and energy to the DJ booth that he brings to fighting for his clients. Check out DJCardsEDM.com

Why Choose Us
How Keystone Brain Injury Lawyers Is Different
Not all law firms are equipped to handle work-related traumatic brain injuries. Here's why we are.

Know Your Rights
Understanding Your Traumatic Brain Injury Case
Your Workers' Comp Claim
Workers' Compensation provides benefits regardless of fault. If you suffered a TBI at work, you're entitled to:
- •Medical treatment coverage (100%)
- •Wage loss benefits (partial)
- •Potentially a Large Cash Settlement
Your Third-Party Claim
If someone else's negligence caused your TBI, you may also be entitled to additional compensation:
- •Full lost wages (past and future)
- •Pain and suffering damages
- •Loss of enjoyment of life
- •Loss of consortium for spouse
- •Punitive damages (in some cases)
Why You Need Both
Workers' Comp alone often isn't enough for serious brain injuries:
- •WC wage benefits are only partial (about 2/3)
- •WC doesn't cover pain and suffering
- •TBIs often cause permanent, life-changing effects
- •Future care costs can be enormous
Pursuing both claims can significantly increase your total recovery.
Common Questions
Traumatic Brain Injury FAQs
A traumatic brain injury is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or a penetrating injury that disrupts normal brain function. TBIs can range from mild concussions to severe injuries causing permanent disability. Symptoms may include headaches, confusion, memory problems, mood changes, and difficulty concentrating.
Personal Injury Coordination
We Only Work With The Best
When your work-related traumatic brain injury involves a third-party claim, we don't just refer you to any personal injury attorney. We coordinate with the most accomplished and reputable Personal Injury attorneys at top firms across Pennsylvania - attorneys who strike fear into insurance companies and have proven track records with serious injury cases.
While I focus on maximizing your Workers' Compensation benefits as a Certified Specialist, these top Personal Injury attorneys at separate firms pursue the third-party claim for additional damages including pain and suffering- something Workers' Comp doesn't cover.
This coordinated approach means you get two dedicated attorneys from separate firms, each an expert in their field, working together to maximize your total recovery.
What Top PI Attorneys Bring
Most Accomplished and Reputable Experience
Highly experienced attorneys with track records in serious injury and brain injury cases.
Third-Party Expertise
Skilled at identifying and pursuing negligent third parties - drivers, property owners, manufacturers.
Coordinated Strategy
We work together to ensure both claims are maximized without one undermining the other.
Pain & Suffering Damages
Unlike Workers' Comp, personal injury claims can include compensation for pain, suffering, and diminished quality of life.
