Helping Pittsburgh Workers Recover After a Brain Injury
Head injuries are among the most serious work accidents in Pittsburgh's steel, manufacturing, bridge and infrastructure work, and energy workplaces. Falling objects, falls from heights, and equipment impacts can cause skull fractures, concussions, and brain trauma. Every work-related head injury is covered by Pennsylvania workers' compensation — medical care and wage-loss benefits, no matter who was at fault.
As a Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist, Michael Cardamone handles your Pittsburgh workers' comp claim directly. If a negligent third party caused your head injury, that case is pursued with our heavyweight Personal Injury colleagues, and any non-work head injury is referred to those colleagues so you are never left without help.

A Work Injury in Pittsburgh May Involve TWO Claims
Injured workers are often entitled to workers' compensation, and when a third party caused the injury, a separate claim — together maximizing your recovery.
1. Workers' Compensation
No-fault medical coverage and wage-loss benefits for your work-related brain injury, regardless of who caused the accident.
Handled directly by a Certified Workers' Comp Specialist
2. Third-Party Claim
If a contractor, equipment manufacturer, property owner, or negligent driver caused your injury, you may recover additional damages.
Pursued with heavyweight Personal Injury colleagues
We focus on work-related injuries. If your brain injury is not connected to a workplace, we refer the matter to our respected Personal Injury colleagues so you still receive experienced representation.
Pittsburgh Head Injury Lawyer FAQs
Are work-related head injuries covered by workers' comp in Pittsburgh?
Yes. Any head injury suffered while performing your job duties in Pittsburgh is covered by Pennsylvania workers' compensation, which pays for medical treatment and lost wages on a no-fault basis. Michael Cardamone, a Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist, handles these claims directly.
My employer says my head injury isn't serious. What should I do?
Head injuries are frequently underestimated. Get a full medical evaluation, report the injury in writing, and call us before accepting any decision from the insurer. We help Pittsburgh workers make sure head and brain injuries are properly documented and treated.
Can I sue someone besides my employer for a head injury?
Possibly. If a third party — a contractor, property owner, equipment maker, or driver — caused your head injury, you may have a separate claim alongside workers' comp. We pursue those with our heavyweight Personal Injury colleagues. Free consultations.
