Christmas in Wilmington.

Our fair city on the Atlantic Ocean may not be the most well-known in the country (deference to Delaware), or even the Tar Heel State for that matter.  Residents here know it as a beautiful place to live 12 months a year.  At Christmas it gets even better and I would like to point out just a few of the upcoming holiday events.

Here are a few –

1.  Enchanted Airlie. Airlie Gardens with viewings between 5P-7P Dec. 16th-22nd.

2.  Christmas by the Sea.  Dec. 19th 6:30P-8:30P

3.  Wilmington Ballet Company presents The Nutcracker Dec. 20 at 3PM.

There are plenty more amazing reasons to visit Wilmington NC this holiday season.  Please, come check us out.  My name is Alden Cole.  I fight for the rights of workers throughout North Carolina.  If I can be of service in 2020 please contact me at (910) 231-2042.  Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from my family to yours.

These are the Steps to Take in the Aftermath of a Car Accident.

It is something we don’t think about and hope to never experience.  You have just been involved in a vehicle accident that is more than just a fender bender.  What should you do in the important seconds after the crash has occurred?  It is generally something that we are not prepared for, but maybe we should be!

Here are some of the things to do that are so very important –

1.  Check your own body for injuries…this is sort of like putting on your oxygen mask first.

2.  If all seems to be well, now check the passengers in your vehicle.

3.  Get everyone off the road.

4.  Call 911.

5.  Exchange information with the other driver(s)

6.  Document the scene…especially with your cell phone.

Do NOT forget the very important part of calling an attorney when the dust settles.  If you are involved in an auto accident in the Wilmington NC area, make that phone call to someone with more than 20 years of experience as a North Carolina car accident attorney.  That man is Alden Cole of The Cole Law Firm.  It’s an important phone number to remember (910) 231-2042.

It Happened about A Week Back.

This play on words is NOT at all humorous when you are injured in a work-related accident.  Social Security receives more disability applications for back problems than for any other physical illness or injury.  Disability examiners see back problems and injuries day after day, and they will not grant disability benefits for moderate or intermittent back pain.

If a compressed nerve root causes significant pain and disability, you may be able to get benefits from Social Security.  Getting disability for spinal stenosis may be within your attorney’s reach as well.  Social Security Disability applicants with scoliosis may also qualify for benefits under the disorders listed.

Alden B. Cole, a Social Security Disability Attorney practicing from his office in Wilmington NC will help you sort it out AND fight for your entitled benefits in North Carolina!  Find out if you qualify for SSDI.  Call Attorney Alden Cole today for an appointment at his office located at 206 N. 4th St. Suite 9 at (910) 231-2042.

Do I Qualify for Workers Compensation?

You’d like to think that you would never need it, then that moment comes that changes your life forever.  You have an accident at work and something on your body never works the same again.  So, how common is it?  Well, in the United States there are over two million work-related injuries every year!

Here are some examples of Workers Comp in North Carolina –

1.  First of all, did you become injured in the course of employment?

2.  What is the nature of the injury?

3.  Were you injured preforming an unusual task not normally a part of the job?

4.  Your employer should have coverage to begin with.

By no means does an accident at the workplace automatically qualify you for Workers Compensation!  To find out if you or a loved one qualify, call Wilmington NC Workers Comp attorney Alden B. Cole.  For more than two decades he has fought tirelessly for you.  Alden’s office is located at 206 N. 4th Street Suite 9 in Wilmington.  Call (910) 231-2042.

Let’s Meet the Man.

You may need to hire a lawyer and if/when you do it is comforting to know that the choice you make is someone who will fight for you every step of the way.  Matters of social security disability and workers’ compensation contain many slippery slopes that demand a steady and experienced hand working on your behalf.

Alden B. Cole spent 5 years as a United States Marine.  When he was honorably discharged from the military, he was laser focused on a career path…helping the injured and disabled in any way he could.  He also made another critical decision.  He chose to open his own law firm rather than taking the easier way out and become an associate at a larger firm.

The Cole Law Firm has over 20 years’ experience handling social security disability and workers’ compensation in Wilmington and surrounding cities.  His sole mission is to secure benefits or compensation for his firm’s injured or disabled clients.  There is no charge for a consultation!  Visit with Alden at 206 N. 4th St. in Wilmington NC by calling (910) 231-2042.

Filing for Social Security Disability.

When you seek an attorney to file on your behalf for social security disability look for one very important attribute.  Make sure that their sole mission in the process is the very same as yours…securing every dollar to which you are entitled.  It would be nice if the attorney would work with you personally and not hand you off to an underling.

Social security disability claims can (and often do) apply to kids as well.  So, if that is the nature of your claim, make sure that the lawyer you speak with has dealt with claims on behalf of children before.  There will be several points that include personal information about you and your family.  Prepare to answer honestly!

The right man for the job in Wilmington, NC may very well be social security disability attorney Alden Cole.  He has devoted the last two plus decades of his life fighting for your benefits with the state of North Carolina.  Give Alden a call and sit down for a one-on-one chat in his office located at 206 N. 4th St. Suite 9.  Call for an appointment at (910) 231-2042.

Hiring the Right Auto Accident Attorney.

Let me ask you…if someone is going to represent you in a North Carolina court of law do you want it to be the ad salesmen who is always on television ranting and raving about how good he is?  Or…would you rather have the steady hand of someone who doesn’t hand off the case to someone else in his larger-than-life law firm?

Alden Cole of the Cole law firm speaks with every client individually.  He listens to the compelling and unique situation that would cause you to come to him in the first place.  For 20 years he has guided people who have been injured in a vehicle accident in receiving all the compensation that they are entitled to.

It boils down to one simple premise…if you or a loved one has been injured or killed in a car, motorcycle, or truck accident give Alden a call.  On top of the pain and suffering, victims and their families may endure financial hardship as well. Attorney Alden Cole is here to help.  If you live in the Wilmington NC area call him today at (910) 231-2042.

You Have Permanent Disability…Can you Apply for Social Security Disability as Well?

The short answer is maybe.  Yes, you MAY be able to collect disability benefits from social security.  Permanent partial disability, or PPD, is a term used by those who have recovered from their injury but are left with some level of impairment that is not expected to improve significantly. 

The workers' compensation definitions of disabled really don't carry any weight with Social Security.  If you currently receive PPD or if you settled with your worker's comp carrier for a lump-sum payment for PPD, you may wonder if you qualify for Social Security disability benefits.  These are questions that will affect the rest of your life!

Let’s find out exactly what you are entitled to.  I am Alden Cole of the Cole Law Firm serving Wilmington North Carolina and the surrounding area.  When I began fighting for the financial compensation rights of North Carolinians over 20 years ago, I made it my mission to understand the Social Security system inside and out.  Please call me at (910) 231-2042 for a sit-down at my office located at 2016 N. 4th St. Suite 9 in Wilmington.
