Car Accident Lawyers in North Carolina

Car crashes are one of the most common reasons people call Hardison & Cochran. Maybe you were rear-ended at a red light. Maybe someone ran a stop sign. Maybe you’re in pain, can’t work, and don’t know how to deal with the insurance company.

That’s where this firm helps most. They handle:

• Distracted driving crashes

• Speeding and reckless driving wrecks

• Drunk driving-related accidents

They handle all the paperwork, deal with the insurance adjusters, and help you get the care and money you need to heal.

Help After Serious Trucking Accidents

If you’ve ever been in a crash with a large truck, you know how scary it is. Tractor-trailers, dump trucks, and delivery trucks can do major damage—and the injuries are often worse. These cases also involve different laws and rules.

Hardison & Cochran knows how to:

• Investigate trucking companies

• Check driver history and training

• Gather “black box” data from the truck

• Review safety and maintenance records

• Deal with the trucking company’s legal team

They won’t back down from big companies. If you’ve been hit by a commercial truck, they’ll

work hard to protect your rights.

Motorcycle Accidents: Protecting Injured Riders

Motorcycle riders are often blamed for crashes—even when it’s not their fault. But the truth is, most bike accidents are caused by car or truck drivers who didn’t look before turning or changing lanes.

Hardison & Cochran helps injured bikers get:

• Medical bills covered

• Repairs or replacement for their bike

• Money for lost wages

• Compensation for long-term injuries

They understand motorcycle injuries and will make sure you’re treated fairly, not blamed.

Workers’ Comp Lawyers Who Know the System

If you’re hurt at work in North Carolina, you may be able to get workers’ compensation benefits. These benefits can cover:

• Medical treatment

• Weekly pay if you can’t work

• Compensation for permanent injuries

• Job retraining in some cases

But many workers are denied—or feel pressured to go back before they’re ready.

Hardison & Cochran has a whole department just for workers’ comp. Their lawyers know the system inside and out. If your employer or the insurance company is giving you the runaround, they’ll step in and take care of it.

Social Security Disability Claims (SSDI)

If you’re too hurt or sick to work, you may be able to get Social Security Disability (SSDI) benefits. But most first-time applications get denied—even when people really qualify.

Hardison & Cochran helps with:

• Filing your initial SSDI application

• Gathering medical records and proof

• Handling appeals after denials

• Representing you in disability hearings

They won’t let you give up. Their team will walk you through each step, so you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

If your loved one lives in a nursing home, you trust that they’ll be safe and cared for. But sometimes that trust is broken. Residents can be hurt by staff neglect, poor care, or even abuse.

Warning signs may include:

• Unexplained bruises

• Bedsores or untreated wounds

• Mood changes or fearfulness

• Poor hygiene

• Sudden weight loss

Hardison & Cochran helps families investigate abuse claims and hold facilities accountable. No one deserves to be mistreated.

Slip and Fall Injuries

Falling in a store, office, or parking lot might not sound serious—but it can lead to broken bones, head injuries, or long-lasting pain. These cases are called premises liability claims.

Common causes include:

• Wet floors

• Ice or snow

• Broken stairs

• Uneven sidewalks

• Poor lighting

If a business or property owner didn’t fix a dangerous condition, they could be held responsible. Hardison & Cochran can help you file a claim and get help with medical bills and other costs.

Wrongful Death Cases: Help for Families

If someone you love died because of someone else’s actions or carelessness, you may have a wrongful death case. It might be from a car crash, a work accident, or poor care at a hospital or nursing home.

Hardison & Cochran helps families recover:

• Funeral and burial expenses

• Lost income and benefits

• Loss of companionship and support

• Medical bills before death

They handle the legal side while your family focuses on healing.

Helping Injured Students and School Staff

Hardison & Cochran also helps students, teachers, and school employees who were hurt on school property. These cases include:

• Playground injuries

• Unsafe equipment

• Bus accidents

• Assault due to lack of supervision

• School staff hurt on the job

They understand the rules around school liability and will fight to protect your rights.
