Hurt at work in the industrial park?
Many Hanover Township residents work in warehouses and distribution centers. Workers' compensation usually covers on-the-job injuries, but if someone other than your employer caused the injury, such as an outside truck driver, equipment maker or another contractor, you may also have a separate claim. See warehouse and distribution center injuries and workers' comp vs. a third-party claim.

Both communities are in Luzerne County, so if a lawsuit is needed, it is typically filed in the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas in Wilkes-Barre.
