Rawls Prevails in Court of Appeals in Workers' Compensation Case

The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in favor of one of the firm's clients in an appeal brought by the defendants. In Rawls v. Yellow Roadway Corporation, the Full Commission awarded Veran Rawls ongoing total disability compensation since his 2005 truck accident. Defendants argued that the Full Commission had erred in several findings of fact, claiming that they were not based on competent medical evidence. The Court rejected all of these arguments and affirmed in full the Commission's decision. Hank Patterson and Narendra Ghosh represented Mr. Rawls in the appeal.
