Michael Cardamone, Esquire
Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist
For over 27 years, we have dedicated our 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.
Brain injury cases are uniquely complex - unlike broken bones or other visible injuries, TBIs require a deep understanding of neurology, cognitive testing, and how subtle symptoms can mask life-altering damage. Attorney Cardamone has spent years studying the medicine behind brain injuries, working with top neurologists and neuropsychologists, and understanding how to prove these invisible injuries to insurance companies and judges. This specialized knowledge has led to exceptional results for our brain injury clients.
"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."
— Michael Cardamone, Esquire
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 Certified Workers' Comp Specialists, we 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.
Continuing Education
National Trial Lawyers TBI Med-Legal Conference, San Diego 2026 — Attorney Cardamone regularly attends specialized brain injury conferences to stay current on the latest medical research, treatment protocols, and legal strategies for TBI cases.
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

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.
“Brain injuries change lives in ways that go far beyond lost wages. I make sure every client gets connected with the right medical specialists - whether that's a neurologist, neuropsychologist, pain management doctor, or vestibular therapist. Your recovery comes first. The legal case follows.”
With 27+ years handling Pennsylvania workers' compensation cases, I've built relationships with the best brain injury specialists across the state. When you work with me, you get more than legal representation - you get a team dedicated to your complete 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.
The Reality of Brain Injuries
Brain Injury Facts & Statistics
Traumatic brain injuries are a serious public health concern. Understanding the scope helps you know you're not alone — and why experienced legal representation matters.
69,000+
TBI-Related Deaths
In 2021 alone, there were over 69,000 TBI-related deaths in the United States.
190
Deaths Per Day
That's about 190 TBI-related deaths every single day.
~50%
Caused by Falls
Falls are the leading cause of TBI-related hospitalizations.
2.8M
ER Visits Annually
Millions seek emergency care for traumatic brain injuries each year.
Symptoms Often Go Undiagnosed
Many TBI symptoms are "invisible" — headaches, memory problems, difficulty concentrating, mood changes, and sleep disturbances. Insurance companies often try to minimize these injuries because they don't show up on CT scans or MRIs. Don't let them dismiss your injury.
Work-Related TBIs Are Common
Construction workers, warehouse employees, and those in transportation face elevated risks. Falls from heights, being struck by objects, and vehicle accidents are leading causes. If your TBI happened at work, you may have two separate legal claims— Workers' Comp AND a third-party Personal Injury case.

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 we focus on maximizing your Workers' Compensation benefits as Certified Specialists, 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.
A Firm You Can Trust
Keystone Brain Injury Lawyers is a division of Cardamone Law, one of Pennsylvania's most respected workers' compensation practices.
