It is designed to provide some financial and medical assistance for people who are sick or injured, and are “disabled” as that term is defined in the Social Security Act, the Regulations, and the Rulings. The idea of being disabled for Social security purposes is as much a legal term of art as anything else. Disability involves a medical determination, and there are of course, legal & technical inquiries as well. Most disability claims tend to rise & fall on the medical proof, meaning one needs some medical proof of the underlying problems that are responsibility for the disability, and then there is also an inquiry into what we call the functional impact of those medical impairments-meaning the practical effect of the medical problems is one of generating an inability to sustain gainful employment- i.e. disability. The SSA disability programs include benefits for both physical and mental impairments. Just about any medically determinable impairment can potentially qualify one for disability. Even the more nebulous disease processes such as fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue can qualify a claimant. Disability can also be secured with sufficient medical proof from everything from classic cardiac problems, neurological diseases, orthopedic injuries, disc herniations, metatastic diseases, liver disease, pulmonary disease, GI problems, all the way to the entire family of mental impairments (depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, etc). Every disability case is somewhat unique just as all people are different. Each case rises on its own circumstances, with a common theme being one of providing some competent medical proof of a disabling impairment. This law office also handles Long Term Disability claims, Short term Disability claims, private insurance disability claims, ERISA litigation for disability benefits, and some State Retirement Disability claims. Finally, this office also handles some auto accident claims and litigation. We generally provide free consultations, and most cases are handled on a contingent fee basis, meaning attorney fees are contingent upon winning. A written employment contract is required to retain this office, and legal representation does not begin until such a contract is executed.
