Proven verdicts and settlements at Hardison & Cochran
These results are credited to Hardison & Cochran. A result appears under an attorney's own name only when a published source names them as counsel on the case.
A Johnston County jury awarded $3 million to commercial truck driver Keave Bayes after a log fell on him at a logging deck, and John Paul Godwin of Hardison and Cochran, with co-counsel Sanford Thompson, secured the full verdict.
A 4-3 North Carolina Supreme Court decision held that state employees cannot invoke sovereign immunity to block individual-capacity wrongful death claims, arising from the death of an NCSU maintenance worker killed by a pressurized refrigerant flange.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts.
