Social Security

Social Security is a form of disability insurance that every working person pays for through their taxes. The qualifications to collect for Social Security are extremely rigid. The process usually involves multiple layers of appeals. Initially, individuals can file their own social security claims. However, if your claim is denied, having the assistance of an experienced attorney is likely to be the difference between winning or losing your appeal.

It is not enough under Social Security law to be unable to perform your current occupation. The injured person must be so disabled, they cannot perform any meaningful employment. Winning a Social Security appeal typically requires not only the opinion of doctors to say the injured cannot work, but also the opinions of vocational rehabilitiation experts, to indicate that there is no work available that they can perform on a "meaningful basis".
