Experienced Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Archbald, PA
Archbald's location along the Casey Highway and Business Route 6 puts it at the crossroads of commercial activity in northern Lackawanna County. The borough's mix of light manufacturing, construction projects, and transportation operations means workplace injuries are a regular occurrence — from equipment malfunctions at industrial facilities to falls at construction sites near the Eynon and Sturges neighborhoods.
Our Archbald personal injury attorneys know that workers compensation benefits alone rarely reflect the true cost of a serious injury. We investigate every workplace accident to determine whether a negligent third party — a subcontractor who cut corners, a manufacturer who produced defective safety equipment, or a property owner who ignored known hazards — can be held liable. Pursuing a third-party claim alongside workers comp is how we help Archbald workers recover full compensation for their injuries.

How OSHA Violations Strengthen Your Workplace Injury Claim
When a workplace accident results in an OSHA investigation, any violations cited can serve as powerful evidence in a third-party personal injury claim. OSHA citations document that a specific safety standard was violated and often identify which party — the general contractor, subcontractor, or equipment owner — was responsible for the failure.
Our attorneys request OSHA inspection records, interview safety inspectors, and work with occupational safety experts to connect cited violations directly to your injury. This evidence can be decisive in proving negligence and securing full compensation from the parties whose shortcuts put you at risk.
"I was injured by a defective piece of equipment at a job site near Archbald. My employer filed workers comp, but PA Attorney Source went further — they found the equipment manufacturer had known about the defect for months. The third-party settlement was more than triple what workers comp paid. Their thorough investigation made all the difference."

Choice No-Fault Auto Insurance
Pennsylvania drivers choose between "full tort" and "limited tort" coverage, which determines when you can sue for pain and suffering after a car accident.
No Cap on Compensatory Damages
Pennsylvania does not cap compensatory damages in most personal injury cases, though claims against government entities have special limitations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases in Archbald
Temporary and contract workers in Pennsylvania are generally entitled to workers compensation benefits through the staffing agency or direct employer. Additionally, if a third party — such as the host company, a property owner, or an equipment manufacturer — caused your injury through negligence, you may file a separate personal injury lawsuit for full damages. Our attorneys regularly handle cases involving temporary workers and know how to identify all liable parties.
A workers compensation settlement resolves your claim for medical benefits and partial wage replacement against your employer's insurance carrier. A personal injury settlement resolves your claim for full damages — including pain and suffering, complete lost earnings, and future care — against a negligent third party. In many workplace accident cases, injured workers are entitled to pursue both types of settlements simultaneously.
No. Pennsylvania law prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who file workers compensation claims. If your employer terminates you, reduces your hours, or demotes you because you reported a workplace injury or filed a claim, you may have an additional legal action for wrongful termination. Our attorneys protect your employment rights while pursuing your injury claim.
Workers compensation wage loss benefits are typically calculated at two-thirds of your pre-injury average weekly wage, subject to a statewide maximum. Medical benefits cover all reasonable and necessary treatment related to your work injury. However, workers comp does not cover pain and suffering or the full amount of your lost earnings. A third-party personal injury claim can recover the compensation that workers comp leaves out.
To prove a third-party claim, you need evidence that a party other than your employer acted negligently and that their negligence caused your injury. This may include OSHA violation reports, equipment maintenance records, safety inspection logs, witness statements, photographs of the accident scene, and expert testimony. Our attorneys begin preserving and gathering this evidence immediately after your injury.
