Social Security Disability
Whether your injuries are work-related or were caused by the negligent actions of someone else, if you are hurt and cannot work, the Social Security disability (SSD) system is the surest bet you have for ongoing, dependable income throughout your life. However, the process of obtaining benefits is a long and often frustrating one. Most valid claims are initially denied. As such, trying to negotiate this system without the help of a disability benefits lawyer can put you at a significant disadvantage.
The primary conditions that must be met in order to obtain SSD benefits are:
* You must have been unable to work for at least twelve months because of your injury
* OR a qualified doctor must state that you will be unable to work for at least twelve months
