Hiring the Right Worker’s Comp Attorney in North Carolina.

How many times have you looked at the website of a particular attorney and noticed that they seem to be able to handle ALL types of the law?  A law degree does not make you an “expert” in all of its different branches.  If I want to hire a criminal attorney, for example then let me talk to someone who does that area of defense and ONLY that.

If you go to the internet in the Tar Heel State and you believe that you have a legitimate case for worker’s compensation then take time to read what the website is telling you.  Do they have a background in several different types of disability recovery defense?  You don’t want to wade through someone’s website only to find that worker’s comp and other types of disability is only a sidebar.

Take a look at www.aldenbcole.com.  From his office in Wilmington, he shows you that he has dedicated his life to getting you the disability compensation that you deserve!  He is NOT distracted by other branches of the law and that should give you great comfort.  Call Attorney Alden Cole today to make an appointment at (910) 231-2042.

Disabilities that Prevent You From Full Time Work in North Carolina.

When you are considering whether or not you have the opportunity to apply for disability there is something important to consider.  Your mental condition may prevent you from holding down a job as well as the obvious physical infirmities.  You must prove that your limitations prohibit you from holding your past job as well as other less demanding work.

Social Security classifies jobs based on their physical requirements.  Sedentary work is considered a job which requires lifting up to 10 pounds and standing on your feet for as much as 2 hours per day.  Light work is defined by the ability to lift up to 20 pounds and being on your feet the majority of the day.  Meanwhile, heavy work may require the lifting of up to 100 pounds.

Where you fit into this equation may require a highly qualified North Carolina disability attorney.  For aggressive social security disability representation throughout the state call Wilmington attorney Alden B. Cole.  He will aggressively act on your behalf.  Call him today to arrange an appointment at his office at 201 North Front Street in Wilmington at (910) 231-2042.

Hiring the Right Disability Lawyer in North Carolina.

Are you aware of the approval rate for people who file for disability in the state of North Carolina?  It may be more challenging than you think.  Less than one-third of North Carolinians who file for disability will be approved.  From there, the other 70% or so will have to undergo an appeal.  If you are properly represented your approval rate will rise and you may be able to avoid the appeal process.

Be very careful whom you decide to represent you.  There are Non-attorney disability representatives out there.  Many of them are former disability examiners who used to work within the federal system itself!  The evidence needs to be presented in specific and exact order to establish beyond any reasonable doubt that the claimant is currently disabled.

A highly qualified North Carolina disability attorney knows that time is of the essence.  You must meet those time constraints or risk losing your claim forever.  For aggressive social security disability representation in the Tarheel state call Wilmington attorney Alden B. Cole.  He will pursue your case aggressively.  Call him today to arrange an appointment at his office at 201 North Front Street in Wilmington at (910) 231-2042.

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.
