Wilmington Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

Workers in New Hanover County and across southeastern North Carolina who sustain injuries in on-the-job accidents deserve the full benefits accorded by the North Carolina Workers’ Compensation Act. Workers’ Compensation is a type of insurance that most employers in North Carolina are required to carry, providing benefits in the event of a workplace accident. An injured employee who is hurt on the job is entitled to receive fully paid medical treatment and hospitalization as well as compensation for a portion of lost wages after the accident.

North Carolina’s Workers’ Compensation system provides benefits regardless of who was responsible for the workplace accident and regardless of the injured worker’s immigration status. It is important to notify your employer promptly of your work-related injury, and workers’ compensation claims must be filed within a certain amount of time.

Unfortunately, some Wilmington employers make it more difficult than it should be for an injured worker to receive their rightful benefits. The employer may deny that your injury was work related or discourage you from making a claim. The doctor chosen by your employer may have incorrectly diagnosed the seriousness of your injury or released you to return to work before you are really ready. Our attorneys can help you obtain a second medical opinion from a qualified doctor who will listen to your concerns. An accurate medical diagnosis is an important piece of a workers’ compensation claim.

If you have sustained an injury on the job or developed a work-related illness in Wilmington and your employer is disputing your workers’ compensation claim, you need the guidance of a qualified workers’ compensation lawyer.

Hardison & Cochran has three attorneys who are North Carolina Board Certified Specialists in Workers’ Compensation. We understand North Carolina workers’ compensation law. Our attorneys stand up for the legal rights of injured workers and are dedicated to helping you seeking the full benefits you deserve.

Wilmington Accident Attorney

The personal injury attorneys at Hardison & Cochran offer legal representation to people in a range of accident and wrongful death matters, including car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, defective medical devices that cause injury, dangerous drugs and nursing home abuse. If you or a loved one has been harmed in an accident in Wilmington caused by another’s carelessness or irresponsible behavior, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills and other expenses.

If the driver who caused your car accident violated the law by driving while intoxicated, for example, the at-fault driver may face criminal prosecution. Drivers who endanger the safety of others by acting irresponsibly should be held accountable. But a criminal conviction of the driver will not provide any compensation to pay your medical bills. If the driver’s insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement to cover your damages, you may need to file a separate civil lawsuit against the at-fault driver and their insurance company to obtain compensation. Our attorneys can review the specific facts of your accident and advise you whether you have a valid claim.
