Experienced Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Progress, PA
Progress is a working community. Nestled in Lower Paxton Township along Jonestown Road and Linglestown Road, it is home to distribution centers, retail operations, light manufacturing facilities, and construction sites where on-the-job injuries happen every week. When employers cut corners on safety, fail to maintain equipment, or push workers to skip protective protocols, the consequences fall on employees and their families. Our attorneys hold negligent employers and third parties accountable.
Pennsylvania's workers' compensation system provides a safety net, but the benefits often fall short of covering your actual losses — especially when injuries are severe enough to prevent you from returning to your previous occupation. Our Progress personal injury attorneys go beyond workers' comp by identifying third-party claims that can recover full damages for pain and suffering, lost earning capacity, and future medical needs that workers' comp alone does not cover.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Progress
Workplace Injuries
Warehouse workers, retail employees, and construction crews across Progress suffer crush injuries, falls, and repetitive strain from unsafe conditions. We pursue workers' comp benefits and identify third-party claims that recover damages beyond the comp system's limits.
Workers' Compensation
When employers or their insurers deny, delay, or reduce your workers' comp benefits, we fight back. Our attorneys handle claim petitions, utilization reviews, and impairment hearings to ensure Progress workers receive every benefit Pennsylvania law provides.
Construction Accidents
Ongoing commercial development near Progress brings construction site hazards — scaffold collapses, trench cave-ins, and falling objects. We pursue claims against general contractors, property owners, and equipment suppliers who contributed to unsafe conditions on the job site.
Car Accidents
Commuter traffic along Jonestown Road, Colonial Road, and the nearby I-81 corridor causes frequent accidents in and around Progress. We document the scene, manage insurance claims, and fight for compensation that covers your full medical and financial losses.
Truck Accidents
Delivery trucks and tractor-trailers serving Progress-area businesses create crash risks on local roads and I-81. We investigate driver fatigue, improper loading, and trucking company negligence to build strong claims for catastrophically injured victims.
Slip & Fall
Icy parking lots at Progress shopping centers, wet floors in retail stores, and uneven walkways at commercial properties cause painful falls. We prove property owner negligence through maintenance records, inspection logs, and surveillance footage to secure compensation.

Maximizing Recovery Beyond Workers' Compensation
Workers' compensation covers medical bills and a portion of lost wages, but it does not compensate you for pain and suffering, diminished quality of life, or full earning capacity loss. For seriously injured Progress workers, the gap between workers' comp benefits and actual financial losses can be devastating — especially for those who can never return to their previous occupation.
Our attorneys bridge that gap by identifying third-party liability claims. If defective machinery, a negligent subcontractor, a property owner's unsafe conditions, or a reckless driver contributed to your workplace injury, we pursue a separate personal injury lawsuit that can recover full damages. This dual-track approach — workers' comp plus third-party claim — consistently delivers significantly higher total recoveries for our clients.
"I was hurt operating a forklift at a warehouse near Progress when a safety guard that should have been installed was missing. My employer's workers' comp insurer tried to limit my benefits, but PA Attorney Source filed a third-party claim against the equipment supplier and got me a settlement on top of my comp benefits. The total recovery covered my back surgery, a year of rehab, and retraining for a new career. They changed my life."

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.

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 Progress
In most cases, Pennsylvania's workers' compensation system is the exclusive remedy against your employer — meaning you cannot sue them directly. However, if a third party contributed to your injury — such as an equipment manufacturer, a subcontractor, or a property owner — you can file a personal injury lawsuit against that third party in addition to your workers' comp claim. Our Progress attorneys investigate every workplace accident to identify all liable parties and maximize your total recovery beyond workers' comp benefits alone.
Pennsylvania workers' compensation covers all reasonable and necessary medical treatment related to your work injury, wage loss benefits equal to approximately two-thirds of your average weekly wage, specific loss benefits for permanent impairment such as loss of use of a limb, and death benefits for surviving dependents. You do not need to prove your employer was at fault. However, insurers frequently deny or reduce benefits. Our attorneys fight denials, ensure you receive proper medical care, and pursue every benefit you are entitled to under the law.
If your workers' compensation claim is denied, you have the right to file a claim petition with the Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Bureau. You must act quickly because there are strict deadlines. A workers' comp judge will review your case and hear testimony from both sides. Our attorneys handle the entire appeals process — gathering medical evidence, deposing doctors, and presenting your case at hearings. Many initially denied claims are ultimately approved with proper legal representation.
Yes. If a third party — someone other than your employer — caused or contributed to your workplace injury, you can pursue a personal injury claim against that third party while also collecting workers' compensation benefits. For example, if defective equipment manufactured by another company caused your injury at a Progress warehouse, you can file a product liability claim in addition to workers' comp. Your workers' comp insurer may have a lien on part of your third-party recovery, but our attorneys negotiate to minimize that lien and maximize what you keep.
You should report any workplace injury to your employer within 21 days to ensure you receive workers' compensation benefits from the date of injury. If you report between 21 and 120 days, benefits only start from the date you reported. After 120 days, you may lose your right to benefits entirely. Beyond reporting, you have three years to file a formal workers' compensation claim petition. Our Progress attorneys recommend reporting immediately and contacting us within days of your injury to protect every deadline.
