Top Rated NC Workers’ Compensation Attorney
Mr. Cochran is listed by Super Lawyers 2020 as a top-rated workers’ compensation attorney in Raleigh, North Carolina.
He represents workers who have sustained work-related injuries and then had their claims for workers’ compensation benefits disputed or denied. His knowledge of North Carolina workers’ compensation law allows him to help injured workers understand their legal rights and the benefits available to them by law. Workers’ compensation insurance, which most employers in North Carolina are required to provide, covers the cost of medical care of injured employees and provides financial assistance to replace a portion of a worker’s lost income after an on-the-job injury or occupational illness.
Board-Certified Specialist in Workers’ Compensation Law
Mr. Cochran is recognized by the North Carolina State Bar as a Board-Certified Specialist in Workers’ Compensation Law. Only a small percentage of attorneys in the state have the specialist designation. That designation indicates that Mr. Cochran has attained additional education and passed a six-hour exam covering this area of law and that he devotes a significant portion of his practice to cases arising from work-related injuries and workers comp claims.
He is a member of the American Trial Lawyers Association and the North Carolina Advocates for Justice. He graduated from the University of North Carolina and the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University.
In addition to the recognition by Super Lawyers, Mr. Cochran is listed in The Best Lawyers in America 2020 in the “Workers’ Compensation—Claimants” practice area. A listing in Best Lawyers, a peer-review publication, is viewed by lawyers as a notable professional honor conferred on an attorney by his or her peers.
