The first two rulings made by the North Carolina Industrial Commission in favor of awarding Principal Hunt workers compensation was rejected by his employer and coverage provider. You can see the information below. We are confident that Principal Hunt will WIN his case again, making it the 3rd time. Stay strong Principal Hunt!

Employer Rejects Second Decision in Favor of Awarding Principal Hunt Workers Compensation

We have just learned that Principal Hunt's employer, The Public Schools of Robeson County, has decided to appeal the decision from the Full Commission of the North Carolina Industrial Commission. This doesn't make sense to us. The school system just had an appeal and they lost again. They have been told twice that Principal Hunt is due Workers Compensation but his employer refuses to acknowledge the Industrial Commission's decision. This case will now be placed on the docket to go before the N.C. Court of Appeals. We are confident that Principal Hunt will once again WIN his case and be awarded Workers Compensation for the THIRD time! We are wondering where is the rationale in this current appeal. Why is Principal Hunt's former employer treating him and his family so terribly? In fact, the school system calls the attempted murder of Principal Hunt a "tragic accident." They have got to be kidding! What happened to Principal Hunt was no accident. Call it for what it is,the attempted murder of a school official. Stay strong Principal Hunt, you and your family will continue in our prayers and the prayers of many others.

Principal Hunt WINS lawsuit AGAIN!

As many of you have been following the case very closely, you know that the school system, The Public Schools of Robeson County(PSRC), has treated Principal Hunt and his family shamefully during this terrible ordeal.  In fact, he had to bring a lawsuit against his employer in order to be granted Workers Compensation for his work related injury as deemed by the North Carolina Industrial Commission (NCIC). The NCIC previously awarded Principal Hunt relief under Workers Compensation in December of 2010 but the school system appealed (rejected) that decision and wanted the matter heard again before a Full Commission in Raleigh. Well, the school system got just what they asked for and on May 10, 2011 the case was heard all over again in Raleigh before a Full Commission and the outcome was UNANIMOUS!  The Full Commission has upheld the ruling of the lower court and on June 22,2011 awarded Principal Hunt Workers Compensation AGAIN retroactive to April 9th,2009. It is crucial to know that up to this point in time that Principal Hunt has received no financial assistance from his employer and no moral support of any kind. It is time for Principal Hunt to get some help! He deserves it and has faught twice in the courts and WON both times! To appeal this decision would be an outright act of continued wasteful spending and would appear to be an outward show of harrassment toward Principal Hunt.  Pay up PSRC.  Stop wasting tax payers dollars on cases that you are clearly in the wrong on like this one!

Principal Hunt "WINS" lawsuit!

On March 24, 2010, Principal Hunt and his employer, The Public Schools of Robeson County(PSRC), met in Benson, North Carolina. The reason for doing so was because Mr. Hunt filed a lawsuit against his employer so that he might receive Workers Compensation as he believed the shooting to be work related. Principal Hunt filed for compensation in April of 2009 after the shooting but his claim was DENIED by his employer! His employer claimed they were in no way liable for any compensation because he was on his way to work when he was shot. Therefore, Principal Hunt found it necessary to take this act of injustice to the North Carolina Industrial Commission. During the pretrial discovery it was confirmed that Principal Hunt's employer did pay him a travel allowance twice a year as part of his salary for services rendered in connection with his role as principal. The matter was heard before Mr. Philip A. Baddour, III, Deputy Commissioner for the North Carolina Industrial Commission.

Read the FACTS of the case carefully and you will see that there have been deliberate smoke screens and mirrors introduced by the employer to try and muddy the case. For instance, the attempt to introduce a document into evidence that had never been seen before by Principal Hunt. Additionally, the school system tried to "switch" or "alter" his contract language during the hearing. Read it for yourself! Moreover, a "Revised" contract was developed by his employer AFTER the filing of his Workers Compensation claim. Of course, the existance of this newly revised contract was denied by the school system during the trial on March 24, 2010!

Was the shooting "Work" related?
