How a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Act on Your Behalf With an SSDI Claim

By choosing an attorney from our network, you gain a legal advocate to navigate the complexities of your SSDI claim for you, from the initial application to appealing unsuccessful claims and preparing for SSDI hearings. Personal injury lawyers understand the intricacies of SSDI claims and the application process and ensure all necessary documentation is in place so the claim accurately represents your situation.

If your claim is unsuccessful, your attorney will appeal the decision. The process might be daunting, but with an attorney’s experience, you can focus on your health while they navigate the process seamlessly. They will analyze the reasons for a denial and build a case to overturn the decision. Preparation for SSDI hearings is a crucial aspect of the process, which they handle carefully. They prepare you for all possible questions and scenarios, ensuring you walk into the hearing confident and fully prepared to present your case.

Our Network Attorneys Understand SSDI Cases

The SSDI program offers you a lifeline if you have worked for a significant period and paid your Social Security taxes but can no longer perform a substantial gainful activity (SGA) due to a medically determinable physical or mental impairment. You need a lawyer who understands the complex application system to successfully claim your rightful SSDI benefits.

Eligibility for SSDI

A strict set of rules and regulations determines your eligibility for SSDI.

To qualify, you must have a major, long-term, or total disability.

  • Major means your condition must interfere with basic work-related activities.
  • Long-term means your condition has lasted–or doctors expect it to last–for at least one year or will result in death.
  • Total disability means you cannot perform an SGA for pay or profit. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has specific criteria for defining an SGA.

The SSDI Application Process

Applying for SSDI involves multiple steps, starting with the initial application, which you can complete online or at your local Social Security office. The lengthy process could require detailed documentation of your medical condition and your personal and employment history.

Understanding the SSDI process can be overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate it alone. At TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers, we can connect you with a local attorney who has extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of SSDI, making them the perfect partners in your quest to secure your rightful SSDI benefits.

Medical Conditions That Qualify for SSDI

SSDI is for people with severe medical conditions and may apply to certain diseases, including:

  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
  • Cancer
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Muscular dystrophy
  • Major organ failure

The legal network at TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers can assess your eligibility for SSDI benefits. If you cannot work due to a medical condition, you may qualify for SSDI. We can help you find an attorney to investigate your options and handle your case.

Importance of Experienced Legal Representation

Entrusting your SSDI case to an attorney from our network gives you peace of mind, knowing you have experienced and compassionate legal representatives fighting for your benefits.

SSDI Denial and Appeals

An SSDI claim rejection can leave you feeling powerless and frustrated, but a denial is not the end of the road. A personal injury lawyer can appeal the decision on your behalf.

SSDI denies claims due to insufficient medical evidence and discrepancies in application details. Understanding the reasons for your denial aids your attorney in building a strong case for your appeal.

Social Security Disability Insurance Claim Denied

If Social Security denies your claim, act quickly. The appeals process requires meeting specific timelines and following precise steps; missing these could jeopardize your case.

Our network attorneys are well-versed in these steps and can keep your case on track. They have conducted successful appeals for numerous clients, and they bring this experience to every case. They understand the SSDI appeals process and use this knowledge to fight for your rights.

How the SSA Determines Disability

The SSA uses a five-step process to determine the presence of a disability:

  • Step one:  The SSA will determine if you are engaging in an SGA  to decide whether you can work.
  • Step two:  If the SSA determines you cannot engage in an SGA, it will study your medical condition to see if it meets or medically equals the criteria for a disability listed in the SSA’s Listing of Impairments.
  • Step three:  The SSA will analyze your residual functional capacity—your ability to engage in work-related activities—and decide if there is any work you can still perform.
  • Step four:  The SSA will investigate your work experience to see if you can perform your former job duties.
  • Step five:  If the SSA finds you cannot perform your past work duties or any other type of work, you may qualify for SSDI.

This process can be difficult to navigate without experienced legal representation. TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers can connect you with an attorney near you to pursue an SSDI claim and protect your rights throughout the process.
