Social Security Disability Insurance (sometimes abbreviated as SSD) is a Federal program that will pay you monthly benefits. These benefits are paid to you if you become disabled before you reach retirement. If you need a Social Security Disability Attorney, rely on the experienced team at the Law Office of Nicholas Sheedy.

Are You Eligible?

There are requirements that you must meet to be eligible to receive Social Security Disability benefits. To be eligible, you must have had a job for a number of years. You also must have paid Social Security taxes at the job. You must have a medical condition that falls under the SSA’s meaning of disability. Usually, Social Security Disability Insurance benefits are available to those who have a long-term disability.

The Benefits Can Be Transferred to a Family Member

Your benefits can be received certain family members if they are eligible. The family member that you wish to receive the benefits must be a financial dependent of yours. This can include a spouse or any children. Your children are eligible to receive benefits until they are 18. If older than 18, they can receive benefits while they are a full-time student in secondary school or are disabled.

This is a very valid question that is posed to me nearly every day. I tell all injured workers who are prospective clients the same thing. Namely, where the case is that their injury is beyond simple first aid, or has not completely resolved in a couple months or is even potentially surgical, then a good specialized worker’s comp attorney is a must to protect the applicant’s various rights under the California Labor Code. After all, the insurance adjuster is an expert who handles solely worker’s comp claims for a living. As such, adjusters know all the “ins and outs” of worker’s comp law to benefit their insurance company and usually to the detriment of the unrepresented injured worker. This is simply how they’ve been trained and often they have been trained to mislead the injured worker/applicant. If you know very little about cars, wouldn’t you feel a lot safer going to a reputable mechanic rather than servicing your own brakes? The same rule applies here. The insurance company is comprised of experts to serve the insurance carrier’s interests, NOT yours as the injured worker. That is where the Law Office if Nicholas Sheedy comes in. We hold the insurance companies’ feet to the fire daily for our clients. When an adjuster will not authorize something medically necessary, my office first makes demands, then files Petitions for Penalties promptly against the insurance carrier and proceed towards trial. Often, we are in court in matter of a couple weeks to try the matter and gain our clients’ much needed medical care. There are specific rules the insurance company must follow. If they don’t, we hold them and keep them fully accountable. -Nicholas Sheedy The Law Office of Nicholas Sheedy is Protecting Your Rights If you were injured on the job you are entitled to receive workers' compensation benefits from your employer's insurance company. Workers' compensation is designed to provide you with the medical treatment and rehabilitation you need to recover from your work-related injury, replace the wages you lose while you are recovering, and help you return to work. We have successfully handled claims for a wide range of injuries including: Fractures Paralysis Traumatic Brain Injuries Burns Although you may be receiving a workers' compensation check, it does not mean that your rights are protected.
