NC Workers' Compensation Attorney Joel Jackson Hardison

Joel Jackson Hardison (Jack)

Growing up in Williamston, North Carolina, Joel Jackson Hardison had a first hand view of a career as an attorney. His father was a district attorney and then a district court judge until his retirement four years ago. After seeing that one could live a happy, fulfilled life as an attorney, Mr. Hardison followed in his father’s foot steps. After obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communications and Journalism from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he went on to earn his Juris Doctorate at the UNC School of Law where he held a spot on the Dean’s List.

Mr. Hardison’s first four years of his career were spent defending insurance companies in Workers’ Compensation cases in Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina. In 2008 he joined Hardison & Associates’ Workers’ Compensation Division. He believes being a voice for the injured party is personally more satisfying.

Digitek Alert

Digitek can cause serious and fatal reactions in some users.

Digitek, manufactured by Actavis Totowa, is used to strengthen the force of a heartbeat by increasing the amount of calcium in the heart's cells. Digitek is also used to control irregular heart rhythms.

In April 2008, Actavis Totowa recalled all units of Digitek. The FDA, after receiving several reports of illnesses and injuries in patients taking Digitek, stated the defect could expose users to twice the amount of active ingredient, which could cause serious and even fatal “digitoxicity” reactions.

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.
