    Personal Injury Questions

    I’ve been hurt in an auto-accident. What should I do?

    Report the accident to the proper police department. Obtain the names of any witnesses if at all possible. Seek medical attention, if necessary, as soon as possible.

    Feel free to call our office for a consultation. There are several advantages to hiring our office early in the process of your case. One, we can advise you earlier and guide you through the legal process. Two, we can make sure the insurance company does not take advantage of you by having you sign documents which are unnecessary. Three, we can prevent problems before they arise. Four, we make you obtain all benefits you are entitled to from the outset.

    Since our fees are only paid at the conclusion of your case and depend on the amount of your recovery, there is no extra charge to the client as we guide you through the legal process.

    Social Security Disability Questions

    Do I qualify for Social Security Disability benefits?

    Your eligibility for Social Security Disability benefits depends on many factors including your age, your medical condition and physical or mental limitations, your education, your work experience, etc.  Generally, the older an individual the more likely they are to be found “disabled.”  However, simply being older will in and of itself not qualify one for disability.  You must be off work for one year, or be expected to be off work for at least a year, before you can be found “disabled.”  Social Security is a complex area of the law and the requirements to qualify for benefits cannot be simply summarized.

    Our firm will guide you through the disability process.  Generally, the person applying for benefits does so on their own through their local Social Security Administration Office.  Most people who apply are denied.

    Our firm handles the appeal of any denials.  Not only do we timely file the proper appeal paperwork, but we also obtain all your medical records, analyze your employment history, obtain medical opinions from your physicians, and ultimately represent you at your hearing.

    There are strict deadlines for timely filing appeals.  Thus, it is important that you call our office as soon as you received your denial letter.  Keep all your paperwork.  Our office will review your information and will determine if we can help you.

    Workers Compensation Questions

    I've been hurt on the job — what do I do?

    First, report your accident to your supervisor.  Seek medical attention, if necessary, as soon as possible.  Medical providers who treat you for a work injury should bill the employer’s workers’ compensation insurance carrier, not your primary insurance.
