Experienced Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Middletown, PA
Middletown is a borough defined by its industrial backbone. Harrisburg International Airport, the Pennsylvania Turnpike interchange, warehousing operations, and manufacturing facilities bring economic activity to this historic community — but they also bring workplace hazards that injure Middletown workers every day. From forklift operators at distribution centers to maintenance crews at industrial facilities, on-the-job injuries here are serious, disabling, and far too common.
When a workplace injury strikes, your employer's workers' compensation insurer has one goal: pay as little as possible. They dispute the severity of injuries, pressure doctors to release workers back to duty too soon, and deny claims on technicalities. Our Middletown personal injury attorneys fight back on two fronts — we ensure you receive every workers' comp benefit you are owed, and we investigate whether third parties like equipment manufacturers or negligent contractors share liability, opening the door to full personal injury damages.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Middletown
Workplace Injuries
Airport ground crews, warehouse operators, and factory workers across Middletown face daily risks of back injuries, amputations, and chemical exposure. We pursue workers' comp benefits and third-party claims to recover damages that go far beyond what the comp system provides.
Workers' Compensation
Insurance companies routinely deny or underpay Middletown workers' comp claims. We handle claim petitions, appeals before workers' comp judges, independent medical examinations, and utilization review disputes to secure the medical care and wage replacement benefits you deserve.
Construction Accidents
Construction and renovation projects throughout Middletown expose workers to falls, electrocution, and heavy equipment accidents. We hold general contractors, subcontractors, and property owners accountable when their safety failures cause injuries on Middletown job sites.
Car Accidents
Route 230, the Pennsylvania Turnpike interchange, and the roads surrounding Harrisburg International Airport see heavy traffic and frequent collisions. We handle accident claims from investigation through settlement or trial, fighting for full compensation at every stage.
Truck Accidents
Commercial trucks traveling to and from Middletown's warehouses and the Turnpike cause devastating crashes. We investigate trucking companies, driver compliance records, and vehicle maintenance logs to build maximum-value claims for seriously injured victims.
Defective Products
When faulty industrial equipment, defective safety devices, or poorly designed machinery causes injuries to Middletown workers, we pursue product liability claims against manufacturers and distributors. These third-party claims recover full damages that workers' comp cannot.

Navigating Industrial Injury Claims in Middletown
Industrial workplace injuries in Middletown often involve complex questions of liability. When a warehouse worker is crushed by a malfunctioning conveyor system, the employer's workers' comp insurer covers basic medical and wage benefits — but the equipment manufacturer, the maintenance contractor, and even the building owner may also bear responsibility. Each of these third parties carries separate insurance policies that can dramatically increase your total recovery.
Our attorneys have the technical knowledge to investigate industrial accidents, retain engineering experts to identify equipment defects and safety violations, and pursue multi-defendant litigation that recovers full compensation. For Middletown workers dealing with permanent disabilities, lost careers, and mounting bills, this comprehensive approach makes the difference between a partial recovery and genuine financial security.
"I fell through a rotted floor section at a Middletown job site and shattered my ankle. My employer's comp insurer tried to say it was my fault. PA Attorney Source proved the property owner knew about the deteriorated flooring and did nothing, then filed a third-party lawsuit that resulted in a settlement covering my two surgeries, a year of physical therapy, and compensation for the permanent limp I will always have. They fought for me when nobody else would."

Pennsylvania Injury Laws That Affect Your Middletown Case
Two-Year Statute of Limitations
Pennsylvania law requires personal injury lawsuits to be filed within two years of the injury date. Missing this deadline bars your claim permanently.

Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are more than 51% responsible, you cannot recover damages at all under Pennsylvania's modified rule.
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 Middletown
Middletown's industrial facilities, airport operations, and logistics centers produce a range of serious workplace injuries. Common cases include back and spinal injuries from heavy lifting, crush injuries from warehouse equipment, repetitive stress injuries from assembly line work, chemical exposure at manufacturing plants, and falls from heights at construction and maintenance sites. Our attorneys have handled every type of workplace injury in Dauphin County and understand the medical documentation and expert testimony needed to win these cases.
No. Every employer in Pennsylvania with one or more employees is required by law to carry workers' compensation insurance. You do not need your employer's permission to file a claim, and your employer cannot legally retaliate against you for doing so. If your employer threatens you, refuses to report the injury, or tells you to use your personal health insurance instead, contact our Middletown attorneys immediately. We protect your right to benefits and pursue penalties against employers who violate the Workers' Compensation Act.
A third-party claim is a personal injury lawsuit filed against someone other than your employer who caused or contributed to your workplace accident. Common third parties include equipment manufacturers whose defective products caused injury, property owners who maintained unsafe conditions, subcontractors whose negligence created hazards, and drivers who caused on-the-job vehicle accidents. Third-party claims are critical because they allow you to recover pain and suffering damages and full lost wages — compensation that workers' comp does not provide.
Workers' compensation wage loss benefits in Pennsylvania are calculated at approximately two-thirds of your average weekly wage, subject to a statewide maximum that changes annually. Your average weekly wage includes overtime, bonuses, and the value of certain fringe benefits. The calculation uses your earnings from the 52 weeks before your injury. If you held multiple jobs, income from all covered employment counts. Our attorneys ensure the insurance company calculates your benefits correctly — errors that shortchange workers are extremely common.
For the first 90 days after reporting a work injury, your employer can require you to treat with a doctor from their posted panel of at least six physicians. After 90 days, you have the right to choose any licensed healthcare provider. If your employer does not have a properly posted panel, you can choose your own doctor from day one. Our Middletown attorneys review your employer's panel compliance and ensure you receive treatment from qualified specialists — not just the doctors the insurance company prefers.
