If you have wrongfully suffered a personal injury and are so
hurt that you will not be able to work for one full year you may also want to
hire a social security lawyer. As a Cincinnati personal injury lawyer and Cincinnati social security attorney for over
30 years, there have been occasions
where my client had a bad injury from a car accident or other injury and could
not work.
Having experience in both areas of law helped me guide my
client, not only in the initial personal injury case they hired me for, but I
was also able to help them with their Socialsecurity disability application.
If it appears that the personal injury victim may not be able
to work for one full year then they may be able to get social security
disability benefits. Usually it takes a long time to get approved so it’s wise
to file as soon as you think you are at risk for not being able to work for one
full year.
Clients have told me it’s nice to be able to deal with one
lawyer for two different types of cases. It’s also helpful to the lawyer to
know what evidence is being produced in each case. This avoids duplication as
well as surprises.
One thing good personal injury lawyers do is try to help
solve all of their client’s problems. Sometimes this means finding them a great
attorney in another area of law because of a problem created by their personal
injury. Sometimes it means for the lawyer to handle a second issue themselves if they are capable.
It’s important to know that if you are seriously injured
there may be a federal social security disability benefit that you can access.
This does not mean you have to take it forever. Once you have healed up
sufficiently, there is a 9 month trial work period. SSDI will pay you while you attempt to get
back in the work force for the first nine months that you work after your
injury.
