Insurance for Total Disability- Contact today for a Free Consultation
People usually think of Social Security in terms of retirement income, but Social Security Disability is an insurance to fill in the financial gap for you if you become totally disabled. Although this insurance is available, the agency does not just give it away; you need to prove that you are disabled and unable to work, which is not an easy task.
With more than 30 years of experience as an attorney in the Tupelo, Mississippi, area, I can work with you in the Social Security Disability process to help you get the money you need when you are unable to continue working.
Qualifying for Social Security Disability
Social Security is like insurance for the event that you are unable to work because of total disability, so many different injuries or conditions could qualify you for this benefit:
- A heart condition
- Cancer
- A sudden automobile accident or other personal injury that renders you unable to sit at your desk all day because of unmanageable back pains.
- Psychiatric conditions like, Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression; if these can't be managed, you could recover for these.
- Back and neck conditions
- Fibromyalgia
- Arthritis
- Diabetes
- Any significant medical condition that would prevent you from working for at least 1 year
While many conditions could qualify you, the most important thing for qualifying for Social Security Disability insurance is proving that you are no longer able to work. As your attorney I can help with the paperwork, doctors' signatures and the other documentation to prove your inability to work. If you have been denied Social Security Disability Insurance benefits, I can help you appeal and get you the compensation you need to recover from your injuries.
If I don't get you on disability, there is no legal fee.
Social Security for Children
Normally if a parent is determined to be disabled, minor children under 18 may draw a separate check. Frequently clients do not realize it but children may, depending on the circumstances, may be able to draw a disability check as a result of a serious handicap such as severe ADHD, Downs Syndrome, and other conditions.
Mississippi Worker's Compensation Attorney
When an employee is injured at work, often the company is responsible for giving the employee compensation, especially when the injury involves:
- Lung disease
- Back or neck injuries
- Faulty equipment causing lost limbs
- Broken ladders causing broken bones
- Chemical spills causing blindness, cancer, burns or other injuries
- Repetitive injuries like carpel tunnel
- Any type of injury sustained on the job
If you have been hurt on the job, you can bet that the company and its insurance company are not excited about paying you. As your lawyer, I will fight the system like a bulldog to get you the compensation you deserve.
You need a lawyer immediately to protect your rights. Normally, your employer and their insurance company will want to pay as little as possible. They will try and get you to sign papers to go to their doctor. You have the right to select your own doctor.
No legal fee owed unless I get you a settlement or award.
Compassion, Empathy and Tenacity
I know you are not trying to take advantage of the system. Most of my clients in this area of law have been very seriously injured or unable to work because of a debilitating medical condition. I will handle your case with empathy and understanding towards you, and with tenacity regarding your Social Security benefits.
