 Raleigh, North Carolina Workers Compensation - Hardison & Associates,
Attorneys at Law
Workers' compensation was one of the first social insurance programs adopted
broadly throughout the United States. Under workers' compensation employers are
required to make provisions such that workers who are injured in accidents
arising "out of or in the course of employment" receive medical treatment and
receive payments ranging up to roughly two-thirds of their wages to replace lost
income. Benefits for dependents of those
workers who are killed because of work-related accidents or illnesses are also
provided under these laws.
Kenneth L. Hardison formed
Hardison & Associates with the belief that a new type of law firm was needed in today’s day and age. Ken’s vision centers on providing the outstanding results gained from an experienced team of professionals
with personal attention to the client and uncompromising integrity. More than just words, every attorney,
paralegal, and staff member at
Hardison & Associates is dedicated to meeting the needs of the client.
Workers Compensation and Union Workers
Unionized workers sustain the majority of work-related injuries because they
often work in the most hazardous of work environments. These labor unions
include:
- Union Iron Workers
- Masons
- Commercial Workers Union
- Electrical Workers Union
- Industrial Workers of the World
- Plumbers & Fitters Union
- United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners
- Welders
- Bridge Workers
Unfortunately, it is not always easy to obtain benefits. There are several
circumstances where it is particularly important that you contact an attorney
for assistance.
- An employer has denied that you were injured while on the job
- You have been refused medical treatment
- You have received a Notice of Denial from the insurance company
- Compensation was promised but has not materialized
- You are without income
- An employer or insurance company has requested your deposition
- Your employer does not carry compensation insurance
- A third party has caused your accident
Workers Compensation
Injuries that typically arise out of and in the course of employment
include:
- Broken/fractured bones
- Back problems/pain
- Knee problems/injuries
- Grip loss
- Heart attacks
- Hypertension
- Wrist injuries (carpal tunnel syndrome)
- Burns
- Shoulder pain
- Neck pain
- Headaches
- Slips/Falls
The injured worker is often taken advantage of because they do not know their
rights. Your employer may not tell you of all the
rights you have and the insurance company is strictly concerned with minimizing
the cost of your claim. This means you may not have all the available
information regarding job retraining, overtime pay benefits, wage differential
benefits, statute of limitations, notice requirements, repetitive traumas,
maintenance payments when being retrained and settlements.
Workers Compensation must be applied for and documented within timely
guidelines. It is certainly possible to suffer the effects of damage to the body
or physical impairment or disability years after initial exposure to the cause.
