“Do I need a Social Security disability lawyer?”
DON’T LOSE YOUR RIGHTS - FIND OUT HOW
The U.S. Social Security Disability Insurance system protects all workers under the age of sixty-five years against loss of earnings due to disability. Social Security disability claims are different from workers’ compensation claims, in that the cause of the workers’ injury is irrelevant in a claim for Social Security disability benefits. The main issue is whether the injury prevents a person from being able to work, regardless of the cause of the injury. If you have been severely injured in a workers’ compensation case, you may be eligible for other benefits under Social Security Disability.
Filing a Social Security Disability Claim
To make a claim for Social Security Disability benefits, a worker must meet certain requirements, including strict definitions relating to the severity of his injuries. Social Security disability requirements can be complicated and hard to understand, and sometimes claims can be denied, requiring that the injured person make an appeal. The counsel of a personal injury lawyer with experience in Social Security disability cases can greatly help with these kinds of claims.
