Past Cases of Maynard & Harris Attorneys at Law, PLLC

The following is just a sampling of the cases handled by Maynard & Harris Attorneys at Law, PLLC:

Workers' Compensation :

We represented several construction workers who fell off of scaffolding but then had trouble getting workers' compensation benefits. The insurance company denied the benefits because it alleged they were intoxicated. We were able to get them the benefits they needed.

Our client, a 46-year-old male, fell from a ladder in the course of his employment and suffered from a head injury resulting in brain trauma. The workers' compensation insurance company denied his claim, questioning whether he had a head injury. Our attorneys took the case to court, resulting in a decision in our client's favor.

We represented an undocumented worker who was returning to a place to look for his wallet and was hit by a car. The case hinged on whether he was in the course of his employment. Our lawyers were able to settle the case out of court.

We represented a 49 year old woman who had three work-related injuries, but was able to return to her job after each injury.  When she had a fourth injury after falling in the bathroom at work, her employer denied her claim and after fighting for her rights for three years in court, she won the benefits she needed and which she was entitled to.

A certified nursing assistant worked for a hospital for several years.  When she was injured, the hospital denied her claim for benefits saying that she should not have been hired for the job in the first place because she had a previous injury with physical limitations.  The first judge did not believe the injured nurse was hurt on the job, but through hard work and persistence, taking her case to the judges at the Industrial Commission and the Court of Appeals, we helped this lady get the benefits she deserved.

Auto Accidents :

A driver fell asleep while driving and hit a tractor trailer parked on a ramp leading back to the highway from a rest area. Our lawyers sued both the driver for driving off the road and the tractor trailer owner for parking in a space that was against regulations.

A tractor trailer hit a bridge, causing its contents to fall onto our client, who suffered post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury. The case was settled out of court for a confidential amount.

We resolved a case involving a single car accident that North Carolina authorities presumed was due to drinking and driving. If an accident involves drinking and driving, you cannot recover insurance benefits. Our attorneys were able to get compensation for our client.

Insurance Disputes :

We represented a couple in an insurance dispute in which an insurer was trying to disclaim coverage. The company alleged that the woman was involved in an accident and did not report it to the police properly. The company also alleged that, in another accident, a friend was driving the couple's car, and should have been listed on the insurance policy. Mr. Maynard's experience as an insurance adjuster helped him successfully defend the couple.

We have successfully handled many cases involving issues of medical causation. Insurance companies often deny claims because they presume that a medical condition was pre-existing, and so was not caused by the accident at issue.
