Getting hurt on the job can be a frightening experience. Besides the physical pain and trauma, you may have many questions: What should I do? Who should I tell? How will I get paid? Will my employer be upset if I file a claim? The process can be daunting, confusing, and overwhelming.
In our law practice, we routinely encounter clients who have sustained catastrophic injuries at work that prevent them from returning to their past employment. Many times, these individuals are so seriously injured that they file an application for Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) or Workers’ Compensation benefits. These benefits are available for people who suffer from a severe impairment(s) that prevents them from working at all on a regular and sustained basis. Often with our legal guidance and assistance, their applications for SSDI benefits are approved after a hearing in front of an administrative law judge.
