About Hardison & Associates

Hardison & Associates was formed by Kenneth L. Hardison and Benjamin T. Cochran with the belief that a new type of law firm was needed in today's day and age. Ken and Ben's vision centers on providing 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.

The firm's focus on making things happen and putting the client first has proved successful. From the original office located in Dunn, North Carolina (some 35 miles east of Raleigh), the company has grown to add offices in Raleigh, Fayetteville, Southern Pines, Durham and Wilmington.

Early on in the practice, the decision was made for Hardison & Associates to concentrate all of its work on cases involving injury law. This focus has allowed the attorneys and staff at the firm to gain considerable expertise in personal injury, car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, worker's compensation, catastrophic injuries, dog bites, swimming pool accidents, bicycle accidents, school bus accidents, traumatic brain injury (TBI), burn injuries, dangerous drugs, defective medical devices, nursing home negligence and social security disability.

Ken L. Hardison, known as the "people's lawyer," is the Senior Partner of the firm. Over the past 26 years, Ken has developed Hardison & Associates into a highly respected practice. Both Ken and Ben share in managing the firm's day to day operations and enjoy outstanding reputations within the legal community, and they are featured speakers at various seminars dealing with legal and law office management issues.

What To Do Right After An Accident?

Having an accident can be a very stressful situation whether you are injured or not. However, there are a few things you can do right after an accident to make the ordeal a little less stressful. First, at the scene get as much information as you can about the other party. Get the driver’s name, address, phone number and license plate number. If there are any witnesses that saw the accident and come to check on you, get the witness’s name, address and phone number. Many times witnesses leave before the police arrive. However, if you have this information you can give it to the police officer and she/he can follow-up with the witness if there is a dispute as to what happened in the accident.
