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:
Rear-end and side-impact collisions
Accidents with uninsured drivers
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.
They Only Get Paid if You Win
Worried about legal costs? With Hardison & Cochran, you don’t pay anything unless they win or settle your case. That means:
No hourly fees
No upfront costs
No risk to call and ask questions
They get paid from the settlement—not your pocket.
