Lawyer's Weekly names Workers' Compensation case one of Top 100 Opinions
Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) November 1, 2007 -- Lassister v. Glover Printing, Inc., a Workers' Compensation case represented by Ben Cochran of Hardison & Associates (http://www.lawyernc.com), was published by Lawyer's Weekly as one of its Top 100 Opinions in North Carolina law for 2007.
Barbara Lassister suffered work-related injuries that prevented her from continuing her job at Glover Printing. Her employer hired a vocational rehabilitation specialist to help her find a new position. However, when the new job she was offered paid one fifth of her pre-injury wage and required a 31-mile commute, Ms. Lassister turned it down.
Glover Printing, Inc. insisted that their job offer was sufficient to compensate Ms. Lassister - and that they should not have to pay further benefits.
Ben Cochran of Hardison & Associates disagreed. Arguing that such an unsuitable job was inadequate reparation for her injuries, Mr. Cochran contended that Ms. Lassister was entitled to financial compensation.
In a groundbreaking decision, The North Carolina Industrial Commission agreed and awarded Ms. Lassister Workers' Compensation benefits. This ruling is expected to set an important precedent for vocational rehabilitation and compensation cases in the future.
