Learn more about Workers’ Compensation.

If you or a loved one feel that you are entitled to workmans’ comp as we often refer to it, you need to understand it first.  It is the process of repairing and sustaining your life financially after a workplace mishap.  Workers’ compensation is a state mandated workers program.  It is not some charitable gift that your employer extends to you.

What are some of the typical questions about this important process?

1.  Does workers’ comp cover one’s medical bills?

2.  Are ALL workplace injuries covered by workmans’ comp?

3.  Does it ONLY cover injuries, or does it include long-term issues?

4.  Is every employee covered?

5.  May I choose my own doctor, or am I relegated to the ones they choose for me?

These questions among others become a part of the conversation when an injury occurs at work.  The very first thing that you must do is seek the council of a professional.  Attorney Alden Cole will give you the advice you need and aggressively represent you in North Carolina.  Call Alden Cole today to begin seeking the compensation you deserve at his Wilmington office at (910) 231-2042.

What are the initial things to do after you have been injured at work?

Are you aware that in the upcoming year nearly ONE MILLION people will be injured at the workplace?  North Carolina includes its fair share of those workers.  When someone from the Tar Heel state becomes injured at work the expenses start piling up immediately.  Time missed when you are one of the family bread winners is devastating.  Of course, the medical bills will begin adding up.

Become familiar with North Carolina’s Workers’ Compensation Act.  This statute was enacted to protect employees not only against injuries, but illnesses related to the work environment.  Because it is considered a no fault system the aggrieved party does NOT need to prove negligence on the part of the employer.  That is comforting to know.

To make sure that you take the proper steps immediately after a workplace accident you need a Wilmington North Carolina workers’ comp attorney.  Alden B. Cole is that person.   Attorney Cole will give you the advice you need and aggressively represent you.  Call Alden Cole today to begin the process at his Wilmington office at (910) 231-2042.
