Yes. You may be entitled to compensation if you were injured as a result of a hazardous condition on someone’s property while making a delivery.

-
Eligibility depends on whether you are classified as an employee or an independent contractor. Many trucking companies misclassify drivers, which can complicate or block access to workers’ compensation benefits. If you are an employee, you generally qualify for benefits that cover medical expenses and partial wage replacement. If you are an independent contractor, you may need to pursue compensation through third party claims instead. An attorney can review your employment structure, contracts, pay arrangements, and work conditions to determine your eligibility and help you pursue the correct path.
-
Yes. Pennsylvania follows a comparative negligence rule, which means you may still recover compensation as long as you are not more than 50 percent responsible for the accident. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you are not barred from filing a claim. Many truck driver injuries are caused by unsafe premises, defective equipment, negligent maintenance, or the careless actions of other drivers. An attorney can investigate the accident to identify all negligent parties and help minimize any unfair blame placed on you.
