Social Security Disability
Social Security Disability Attorneys — New York
Suffering an injury or work-related accident is frustrating and often results in emotional and financial hardships. Social Security Disability (SSD) provides relief to individuals who suffer serious injuries that keep them from working for a year or more. At Ouimette, Goldstein & Andrews, LLP, we represent individuals seeking to collect benefits due to a physical or emotional impairment or disease.
Our attorneys have successfully represented individuals disabled due to many different types of ailments including, but not limited to: spinal disorders (neck and back), dysfunction of joints (hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand), amputations, fractures, burns, visual loss, hearing impairment, pulmonary impairments, sleep related disorders, asthma, heart failure, heart disease, liver disease, obesity, sickle cell disease, diabetes mellitus, neuropathy, epilepsy, brain injuries, multiple sclerosis, seizures, depression, anxiety, PTSD, mental retardation, lupus, hepatitis and HIV.
Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits are available for all types of physical, emotional, or psychiatric conditions, including depression, PTSD, or any injury that makes you unable to work for at least one year. Contact us for more information and to learn about your rights.
A Strategy for Success in the Initial Application Process
Our practice and experience is geared towards initial approvals on applications. This is especially a targeted goal for people under the age of 50. Our attorneys become involved at the initial application phase so that the right information is preserved and on record, especially in the event of an appeal. Having an experienced attorney at the front end can secure a record and give you a better chance of seeing your application approved.
Most Claims are Denied the First Time
Initial claims for Social Security Disability are routinely denied. Many people do not properly file or provide adequate documentation for their injury or disability. Having an experienced attorney handle your initial claim may increase the chances of an acceptance and also lay the groundwork for an appeal if necessary. Let our attorneys effectively navigate the application process on your behalf.
SSD applications are routinely turned down even when it is clear that you are not able to work. Don't assume that they are right. Don't give up. Our lawyers can assist you if your application was denied, at any hearing, and at appeals counsel review.
Problems Faced by Social Security Disability Applicants
Many applicants face a series of challenges in obtaining Social Security Disability benefits. Our attorneys are experienced in helping clients file initial applications, prove disability through medical evidence, and deal with the denial of an application. In addition, we work to address medical needs and psychiatric problems that caused the underlying need for SSD or workers’ compensation benefits.
