What to Do When an Injury Occurs at Work.

If you are injured at work whether you think it is your fault or not it is vitally important to take immediate steps.  We want you to stay safe, but to be prepared if a work injury occurs.  The very first thing you must do is address medical care issues.  Don’t just try to “shake it off”.  Dial 911 from the spot if necessary.  Remain calm and stay still until help arrives.

In the aftermath of any injury a thorough investigation needs to be made.  What caused the problem?  How should it be addressed so that it does not occur again?  You must act in a proper manner to make sure that you are protected from future harm within the workplace.  There may be hazards that could potentially affect other co-workers.

As soon as humanly possible contact an attorney who handles workplace injuries.  The right person for the job in Wilmington, North Carolina is Attorney Alden B. Cole.  Chances are your employer is represented by a large insurance company.  Needless to say they do not have YOUR best interests at heart.  Alden Cole DOES!  Give him a call right away at (910) 231-2042.

DePuy ASR Hip Replacement Recalls.

First of all, if you or a loved one has had a DePuy hip replacement you need to be aware of what may be happening in the aftermath of that surgery.  These replacements are all metal or “metal to metal” artificial hip implants.  According to available statistics nearly 40,000 patients in the U.S. received the DePuy ASR implant from August 2005 through August 2010.

So far there have been two different settlement periods that were offered to patients whose DePuy ASR implant failed.  The total payouts under the settlements have been estimated at over $2.5 billion.  In the initial 2013 settlement, Johnson and Johnson provided a base award of $250,000 to those who were more than 180 days removed from their original hip replacement surgery.

Are you or someone you know effected by a DePuy hip replacement that has become defective?  Are you entitled to a settlement if you had to undergo revision surgery after January 31, 2015?  Even if you have not had any significant problems with your DePuy system as yet, you need to consult an attorney to discover your options.  In Wilmington North Carolina that person is Attorney Alden B. Cole.  Give him a call at his office today at (910) 231-2042.
