Helping Harrisburg Workers Recover After a Brain Injury
Concussions happen constantly in Harrisburg's government and commercial construction, highway work, and warehousing jobs — a fall, a struck-by object, or a vehicle jolt is enough. Because symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and memory trouble can appear later, concussions are frequently underreported. Pennsylvania workers' compensation covers work-related concussions, including treatment for lingering post-concussion syndrome.
Michael Cardamone, a Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist, handles your Harrisburg concussion claim directly and makes sure insurers take post-concussion symptoms seriously. When a negligent third party caused the concussion, that claim is pursued with our heavyweight Personal Injury colleagues; non-work concussions are referred to those colleagues.

Harrisburg Concussion Lawyer FAQs
Is a concussion a real workers' comp injury in Harrisburg?
Absolutely. A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury, and when it happens at work in Harrisburg it is covered by Pennsylvania workers' compensation — including medical care and wage loss. Attorney Michael Cardamone, a Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist, handles these claims directly.
I kept working after my concussion — can I still file a claim?
Yes. Many workers push through, then develop post-concussion symptoms days or weeks later. Report the injury to your employer and get evaluated, then call us. We help Harrisburg workers connect ongoing symptoms to the original workplace concussion.
What is post-concussion syndrome and is it covered?
Post-concussion syndrome is a set of symptoms — headaches, dizziness, memory and mood problems — that can last weeks or months. It is covered by workers' comp when it stems from a work injury. We make sure insurers don't dismiss these lasting effects. Consultations are free.
